Your reason for having children is finally beginning to come to fruition. That’s right, I just convinced your son that helping Mommy do the laundry is fun! Sure, his contribution of handing me the clothes to put in the washer and then turning it on by pushing the button seems minimal now, but just you wait: by year’s end I’ll have him building us that screened porch we want. I know, I know, why aim low with the screened porch when we can get that master suite addition? Well (and I’m not one for lowering expectations), I do want him to get to experience mastery before really delving in. If we just let him learn some things on his own, he’ll be better for it, I promise. I’ve gotta go — teaching him to change the oil in my car will take a little time and I want to be sure to get it in before lunch.
Love,
Shannon
No problem. After he changes the oil, he’ll need to practice the laundry again.
That would be great. I have 3.5 weeks of laundry downstairs with his name on it…
