"I Wanna Clean The Poop NOW!"
Have you now or ever had a child who begged, commanded, or just plain liked doing chores? At what point does it become a "chore" and is no longer fun? I cannot remember the age at which that began in my own children. The title of this post came out of the mouth of Skye, the 2-year-old we babysit. She is too cute for her own good. She keeps us in stitches and makes us laugh so much- even when she's supposed to be in trouble I have to hide my laughter because she cracks me up! One day, she was in time-out for some reason, and she was crying. Through her big fat tears, she begs, "It's my fault. I sowwy, Aunt 'Chele!" It took all I had to continue with the punishment (of 2 minutes on the time out chair). I sat down and explained to her that I was dissappointed in her behavior and that I still loved her but she did not need to do it again. With her big blue eyes and the sweetest voice, she said, "Yes, ma'am." I picked her up, gave her a hug and sent her on her way! What am I going to do when I have grandchildren? My oh my!!??
