We have been really working on specific chores for the kids - one of those chores is folding and putting away the socks and underwear (a job I was more than willing to give away). It is a one person job on a rotating schedule. Today was The Bear's rotation. After taking their sheets off their beds and making their beds with fresh sheets, The Bear still had to take care of the basket before getting to go to his friend's house this afternoon. Being the agreeable kid that he is, he went upstairs to get it done. A bit later, I headed upstairs and found all three of the kids working on the folding together. "Whatcha doing?" I asked. "Helping" was the response. After prying my chin off the floor, I quickly went and grabbed my camera because I felt like this picture was like capturing Big Foot. Helping each other - without being told - for no other reason except to be helpful. Amazing. Maybe I am teaching them things after all.
