I think you can. When they become teenagers they will forget for a bit, but sometime around 20 or so they remember again. Funny how that works. Give it your best shot.

Good to start them early.
March 27, 2007 at 6:28 PM
Yes you can!
March 27, 2007 at 6:32 PM
Get ‘em working early! That’s what I do with mine too. Thanks for sharing this adorable picture!

I have a son who loves to do laundry. He still does at 5 years old.
March 27, 2007 at 6:54 PM
Oh if only I could get my 14-year old to do that!!
March 27, 2007 at 7:13 PM
Hmmm, they learn very young how to push your buttons.

Fantastic! My husband was raised with a very strong work ethic but, being the youngest, not a very solid understanding of child development. He’s always asking me how long until we can give our 8 month old a list of chores. The other day he said “when can we take over all the dusting and sweeping? when he’s two years old?”
I laughed, but your picture made me grateful that my son is bound to learn young, which I believe will make a happier, more fulfilled person (not to mention a great husband!)

Wait till I show you the pictures I took of Emma scrubbing my kitchen floor. Hee hee!

i give my 2 year old a spray bottle filled with warm water and a few rags and he cleans like a pro!

Got to teach them while they are young. Reed helps put things away now, and he loves it!

My 3 year old loves to “fold laundry”. This means putting clothes in the washer or dryer. It’s priceless when they help this young.
March 27, 2007 at 10:28 PM
Well done! Now, more importantly, when can you teach ironing!?~
March 27, 2007 at 10:40 PM
start them early and develop it into a habit. Shouldn’t be that hard right? [Yeah right!]

my kids ( 5 & 3) are always eager to help out with chores… I think it’s later as they grow older that they run away… now they just want to please theiy mommy and daddy anyway they can… ofcourse I suppose the curiosity and wonder of gadgets and everything else is also the deciding factor… great pic!
March 28, 2007 at 4:23 AM
Oh Wow, sure why not teach them….they love to imitate what you do. This is the best time if you ask me!

I have a toddler that voluntarily puts things in the washing machine too. Although it’s usually his Ninja Turtle action figures who he says needs a bath. My Papi also contributes adding to the washing machine. Things like Kleenex, ballpoint pens, toothpicks…..

At that age it’s still fun. Good job.
March 28, 2007 at 5:17 AM
Great pic! Little Princess is five and she loves to help me too.
March 28, 2007 at 5:22 AM
Good man! Love that!
March 28, 2007 at 5:57 AM
….and when your done with that, iron my socks!
March 28, 2007 at 6:06 AM
I’m sitting here wondering if my 10 year old would even admit to knowing where the washer is… Helping out is no longer considered fun!
Thanks for stopping by and leaving an encouraging message on my SHS post – I need all teh encouragement I can get to continue exercising!
March 28, 2007 at 6:16 AM
That gives me hope!
March 28, 2007 at 7:15 AM
What a guy!
I have to confess! I do the family’s laundry!
BUT, they do know how if they need to
March 28, 2007 at 7:18 AM
Great picture and great teaching! Wish I had started mine that young~maybe they wouldn’t complain so much!
My unusual picture is up on My Photo Blog.
March 28, 2007 at 7:51 AM
Absotively posolutely! I love seeing the little guys help – most of them don’t know it’s not fun!! Now, if I could just convince myself….

Cute!!! My kids love to help complete chores- only sometimes it doesn’t really help.
March 28, 2007 at 9:12 AM
Absolutely!!!! My two year old twins pick up their toys and put them back. They put their trash in the trash can and they help with the laundry too!
blessings and thanks for stopping by!
mine was an old church
March 28, 2007 at 9:23 AM
How well does he fold?
March 28, 2007 at 10:34 AM
Love it! It’s great to start them early. I just bought my son a mini broom. LOL!
March 28, 2007 at 11:26 AM
Too cute! They tend to forget when they get to be teens though, I promise!
Happy WW!
March 28, 2007 at 1:04 PM
oh yes, I agree. Now for the patience to remember to have my kiddos join in!
Happy WW!
March 28, 2007 at 5:57 PM
perfect… can’t start ‘em too early!
March 28, 2007 at 6:08 PM
i believe it is possible …
March 28, 2007 at 7:37 PM
Good job! Could I borrow him? Cute photo.
March 29, 2007 at 6:16 AM

Absolutly!!! Isn’t that our job??? To teach our children the skills they need to survive on their own someday? Learning begins before you are even born. If you think of it that way, laundry is a cake walk. I had a foster daughter that came to me when she was 16. She could not boil water, or do laundry. I even heard one mom say that her daughter did not know which side of the envelope the stamp went on!
March 29, 2007 at 7:37 AM
If not, atleast you have evidence that you tried!
BTW- our machines do look similar!

Very cute! My girls were always eager until they realized it was work. They went from excited helpers to reluctant eye-rollers, but they’re both great kids!
