Useful Work

The gardeners come on Tuesdays to mow the lawn, so on Monday nights David clears the lawn of dog poop and toys. This evening, I asked the boys to help get the toys off the lawn, and they ran outside to help! Often "help" is just playing in the vicinity of where help is needed, but this time they actually took all the toys off the lawn!

Emmett is old enough now to be very helpful, and he has been great helping me since Henry was born. But tonight, not only was Emmett helpful, Luke really helped too! I guess he sees Emmett's example and wants to be helpful, too. At Luke's age and without a role model, Emmett wasn't doing useful work at all.
