Sunday night is Laundry Night and the kids have been very helpful lately. They fold their own clothes and had fun sorting their socks into pairs.
Family Board
At the beginning of the pandemic, we were using butcher paper to make lists and schedules on the wall. With the addition of this white board shortly after, it has become the focus of most days. With the new school year and such a complicated schedule, it’s even more useful. We have the week view for each kid and added a star chart to keep them accountable for daily jobs and tasks.
Schedule
The kids came up with a schedule for today complete with illustrations.
Laundry Crew
It’s like the family leveled up once the kids were able to fold their own clothes. They even kept track of the orphan socks and reunited 2 out of 3 by the end.
Chores?
Peanut made up his own list of “chores”:
- Wake up
- Clean room
- Play with plus-pluses
- Eat
- Clear table
- Play “Lions”
Remote Supervision
Mama supervised the kids folding laundry today from her office at work.
Washing Machine
This is one of the endearing things I will remember about Peanut at this age. He was up early this morning and excited to press the buttons on the washing machine.
And then he stands there and just watches the water fill and tub wiggle and spin.
Helping Yai
It’s trash day tomorrow and Peanut helped Yai take out the trashcans today.
Cleaning, Snacking, and Napping
The kids did a lot of sweeping out front this morning and then took a break outside with a snack.
Peanut later took a nap on the couch in the middle of all of the laundry piles.
So entertaining…
This guy loves to watch the washing machine swirl the clothes around. Pushing the start button is pretty cool too.
