Good on mini-dex!

My kid asked to clean the floors this evening. My kitchen floor is sparkling. People keep telling me he'll grow out of cleaning, but I'm not rushing that. I'm hyping cleaning for all it's worth.

Wow. how'd you do that? Enjoy it while you can. Teach him what a toilet brush is and how to work the washer and drier.

Funny thing is this morning minidex wokeup at 6:30 (usually sleeps til 8 if you let him), got dressed on his own, grabbed his own breakfast, and was quickly begging to go back outside to ride his bike again. Kid loves his bike.

I'm not sure. The swiffer definitely holds some appeal, since it is a gadget that shoots water. However, he also got a large rag out and finished the floors by hand. That floor is immaculate this morning still.

I only wish it would transfer over to other things...like putting away his toys without the reluctance. I find if things are well organized to begin with it helps him out. However, the average six-year-old boy wants the world to be his lego/hot wheels track/giant farm kingdom. It's like I'm destroying the world he built when I ask him to clean up.

You know how my mom broke me of that? She started sucking up my toys with a cannister vaccum when I didn't pick them up fast enough.

I told him the story of my mom. I didn't clean my room when I was about 4 or 5 and she came in with a giant bag and loaded up everything still out. She put the whole bag in the basement for a month.

I don't know if it broke me of anything...I'm still pretty much a slob.

Update: when we got home from school today he asked if he could ride his bike. We pulled it out, he put on his helmet, then got on and just started riding. He didnt want me to touch it or help, so I just stood there and watched him go. He struggled the first couple of attempts but eventually got it and was riding like a champ within minutes.
He actually got disappointed when I made him stop because it was getting dark.

Im definitely a proud dad.

Edit: photos added

Awesome!

Nothing sucks as well as a car wash vacuum.

I'll have to measure it tonight but minisnick is now as long or longer than the changing table. He has learned to scoot down a bit from the end or else his head is going to get bumped. If only he would use the potty regularly.

Little ElCid needs to start making a more concerted effort to do the same.
