There has been quite a lot of work around here lately. With Eli getting into more and more lately, it seems as soon as I clean up he's right behind me with another mess! Also, following a rough weekend and a husband out of town this week, I thought it was time to put Eli to work. Yep, I said it! I'm putting the kid to work, haha.
No really, I didn't start out today thinking "Eli's going to start doing chores today!" What happened was he was helping me vacuum (yes, it takes FOREVER when he helps me but he actually cries when I put away the vaccuum). After I finished his room, the guest room was next. The guest room is where we keep the cat food, water, and litter box and he is usually not allowed in there (we have a gate in the doorway). So I let him come in there with me today. Of course he headed straight for the cat food container. He had the cup of cat food in his hand, so I showed him how to put the cup of food into the cat bowl. He loved it! So he kept doing it over and over, but each time there were only a few little pebbles in each cup full. Since he loved it so much, I decided that I am going to make that his job everyday. To give them fresh food and water, with my help of course.
We had a busy day. He ended up helping me water the flowers outside, sweep the patio, take out the garbage, and pull some weeds.
I will post some photos of our day tomorrow. The computer with the pictures is about 15 feet farther from where I want to be right now, which is planted on the couch!
