Somewhere there is a picture of me when I was about 4 and I am trying to push around a huge Kirby vacuum. I have used that picture many times to tell my siblings that I was doing chores way before they had to. Where is that picture? Today Stratton didn't want to do his usual job of dusting, so I asked him if he wanted to vacuum. His enthusiastic "YES!" made me smile. Out came the Dyson and the camera to document the fantastic occasion. My hope is that down the road a few years, Stratton will be having a conversation with his sisters about how they think he never had to do anything around the house and he can pull out a picture to prove them wrong! The girls take out the garbage and sooner than later Stratton will be helping with the dishes. At our house we are equal opportunity chore providers!

Love it. I'm am so into my kids doing chores. Molly only needs to grow a couple more inches before she can handle the vacuum.
Umm... I believe your picture was a set up from the very beginning just like Strattons!!!
