I set Rosie to work cleaning around the edges of the kitchen with a little hand held vacuum while I started mopping. Glowing in the warm light of the winter sun streaming through a nearby window, she declared, “This is fun!”
I stopped to smile back into her happy face. “It is, isn’t it?” I said. “I like cleaning.”
“Yes,” she replied, “especially when you’re cleaning with your whole family.”
Shared work is happy work. No matter how old you are.
She is precious
Have you read “All of a Kind Family”? In it, the mama hides buttons around the room the kids are dusting, and if they find them all they receive a reward. Anna can’t wait to try this out tomorrow on cleaning day.
Love that story! That’s the only one of the series we have yet, though.
Haven’t done the button thing yet, though.
that is just precious and so true! that is a happy moment you will always remember. thanks for sharing!
