dish report

My generous sharing of dish duty is working wonders for me!  But I HAVE to report...

Tonight we had left over tacos for dinner.  YUM! ----  Wyatt had  -clear and wipe down table- .  There were a few pieces of lettuce that spilled on the table.  (Wyatt was OK with this new job until he noticed the lettuce!)  It went a little something like this... 
Wyatt:  "UGH!  (gag)  Oh Mom, (gag),  I don't think I can do it!!  Can you get those pieces of lettuce?" 
Mom:  "No Wyatt, I think you'll be OK!"
Wyatt:  "Gross, (gag),  No Mom!!  I'm practically allergic to lettuce....  REALLY!!"  etc...

Riley -unloaded the dishwasher- just fine, although he put a few things in places they don't go.  That is kinda a 
 -learn as you go- thing.

Then Preston... Oh my Preston!!  He had -load dishwasher- .  I don't think that boy has ever loaded the dishwasher.  I have really deprived my children!!  He loaded cups and bowls in an upright position.  He kept saying "Gross Mom!!  This is really gross!!"  He would grasp the dish with 2 fingers and hold it under the water to rinse off food.  (I'm smiling as I write this...)  Pretty funny!


Ahhh,  a few funny moments to write down so I can remember (with a smile) how much work it is to teach my children to WORK!!  :)
