    I told DH that starting tonight I'm going to start teaching DD to pack up her toys before bathtime. I'm expecting for the first while she'll pull toys out as I put them away.

    Good on you Danni. If you persist, Jazz will soon learn. They are smart little creatures!

    Yes in deed they are. I'm thinking about giving her the duster today. Then again, she's sick and I don't think dust flying around will be a good idea.

    Excellent!

    i give DD a rag when i do the dusting too. She sprays the windex onto the coffee table and starts wiping it down just like mummy does.

    DD gives me the next piece of clothes to iron when i'm ironing. I'm thinking of buy her a toy ironing board and iron.

    Just ask Jazz if she wants to "help" mummy ALL the time (when you do something) and try and get her involved. DD has a broom which she uses when i vacuum.

    Of course i can't guarantee that they'll help us when they're teenagers though
