Ava, as we speak, is using 409 and a sponge to scrub down the kitchen table and chair. actually, I am spraying the 409 and she is scrubbing.

Is it child abuse to let a 4 year old clean out the refrigerator if she BEGS to do so?

Stay tuned. We will see how long this cleaning madness goes til!!

Pictures will follow soon!

No, I don't think its "child abuse" or bad for you to let her. It's a good sign she takes notice and does something about it. But at 10:00 Beth?? Why is she still up?? Hahaha...

I let Julia dust in our house, because I "miss too many spots."

Actually, as bad as this is, she is still up singing Hannah Montana at 11:30pm. She took a really long nap this afternoon till about 6pm, so she is no where near tired. I guess just this once she can stay up. At least she was productive!

If she begs to then it is fine. Even if she does not beg to, it can't hurt if she is willing. At some point they have to learn to live on their own :). Seriously too many kids don't help at all around the house. I plan to capitalize on the times when the girls think it is fun. Katherine was on her hands and knees washing the kitchen floor on her own yesterday.
