mommy's little helper?

Household tasks that are almost impossible to complete with an (almost!) one year old in the house:

1. Sweeping. Santiago seems to think this yellow stick with the fancy brush at the end is a toy.  His toy.  When we're not fighting over the broom, I'm chasing him away from the debris pile.



2.  Laundry.  The look of satisfaction on his face when he demolishes a pile of perfectly folded clothes.

3.  Toilets.  Do I need to explain?

4.  Dishes.  "What Mom? This fancy pull down door isn't my personal platform?  But there are all of these shiny toys inside."



5.  Vacuuming.  If vacuum chasing ever becomes an Olympic event, he totally would win a gold medal.
