Little Laundry Man

My Laundry Sidekick!

Recently, I've been thinking of how to engage Noah in chores he's able to do at his age and size. I worry a bit about my 4th child coasting along and letting his siblings do all the work. I realized I'm going to have to be a bit more creative to find ways for Noah to help out and learn to work.
Unfortunately, our washing machine broke a few weeks ago which led to the purchase of a front-loading washing machine. Fortunately, this works out perfectly for Noah to both load and unload the washing machine and dryer as his chore. I let him push the buttons, empty the lint trap, and add the dryer sheet. He feels very special and loved it when I praised his "helping" in front of him to the family.

He had to give his blanket a kiss before I strongly encouraged him to put it in the dryer :)
