We make a lot of messes at our house. By "we" I actually mean Evette. When Evette spills milk/water on the floor I have her help me clean it up. We go and get a rag or paper towel to "wipe, wipe, wipe!"
The other day we had some visitors who accidentally got some mud on the carpet. I was going to ignore it and just clean it up later, but Evette came over and said, "Uhdat!" pointing to the mess. I told her we'd clean up the mess later. Instead, she ran into the kitchen and grabbed a cleaning rag and went to town "wipe, wipe, wipe!" How great is that?!?!
I've tried to get Evette to help out around the house already, so that when she's older, she'll grow up knowing that we all help around the house.
Some of her "chores" are throwing away her diapers, wiping up messes, helping to set the table, putting away toys, handing me silverware out of the dishwasher, handing me clothes out of the basket to fold, and helping swiffer the house. She loves to help! She gets excited about it and gives her self a round of applause after helping lol
