The Day Has Come

I've waited for the time when my kids could do the dishes and help out more around the house. Well, the day has finally come that Isaac can load a dishwasher. I called him over this afternoon and showed him how to rinse off the dishes and stick them in the dishwasher. He was so proud of himself that I found him unloading what he had washed earlier, putting the dishes up, and loading it all over again after dinner. Now we have a team: Josiah unloads (and hands a few things to Olivia) and Isaac unloads the breakable things and loads the dishwasher back up.

I was so excited that I showed Josiah how to do a load of laundry. That may have been a bit too soon. :)
