Child Labor

Although Asher's curiosity is exhausting, we're finding it can also be very beneficial to us. He's expressing more and more interest in the chores we do around the house. He loves chasing after the vacuum and helping Mommy push it around. He finds the dishwasher very interesting and enjoys handing clean dishes to Daddy to put them away. Stephen was hanging curtain holdbacks in our room and Asher was right by his side, handing him tools and hardware. When we're at the store, Asher thinks it's a treat when we take him out of the cart and let him help push it.

He doesn't quite understand, yet, that working sucks, and we're trying to keep it that way. Maybe by this summer we can get him to mow the yard for us?
