Harper is really good at following directions. She will put things back in her toy chest when asked and helps clean up at bath time. She likes to open the kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers that are not "hers", but will listen to close them when we ask.
I got an idea to give her certain tasks to get done. We started with asking her to help rub in her lotion after bathtime. She is also great at velcroing her sandals closed (and undoing them in the car!). She loves to throw away her dirty diapers in the trash can.
I caught one of her favorite chores on video. After bathtime, she carries her washcloth to the hamper and makes sure it gets in there. Then I ask for a diaper and she turns around and grabs me one from her hanger. We always make a big deal after she's done both things, so she usually gets really excited and claps her hands. Which is what she wanted to do at the end of the video so she tried to let go and laid on the ground. Such a silly girl.
