House chores

Finn has mastered sweeping and vacuuming and has moved on to more complex tasks that take him to new elevations. He is rising off the floor to help his mom do more chores.

Doing the dishes is a lot like bath time. There's water, toys and lots of splashing.


He pulls the chairs over to the edge of the table or counter and climbs up to get to the workspace. Sometimes Sarah moves the chair over for him and gives him specific things to pay with.

Breakfast is commonly French toast. Here Finn adds the milk to the egg miixture in preparation for the grill.


Playing with cooking tools is also a fun game. We showed him how putting a spoon in the bottle opener would play the Wisconsin fight song. That was a favorite game for a long time. It's another example of toys being seconded by everyday items like a spoon.


He must really like us to try and copy everything we do. He thinks anything we do is super-cool. I know that will change at some point, but it's great right now.
