Damien and Christopher were helping me by picking up their toys. Damien loves to vacuum, so he knew he had to pick up the things on the floor. Now if I could just get them to pick up their toys when they are done playing, that would be great!
I make a deal with Damien - he can use the hose after I finish vacuuming the floor. He does a great job for someone who is only 3 & 1/2. He gets in the corner, and if something does not get vacuumed, he picks it up with his fingers and sucks it up.
But as with anything, you gotta have fun doing so. Making faces, vacuuming your shirt.... Gotta have fun, otherwise, it'll seem like a chore. But I don't have to ask him to help, everytime we pick up his room, he asks "are we gonna vacuum?" I love my little helper!
Christopher doesn't get to vacuum, he just plays around when he has the hose. So I let him unplug the cord when we were done, and he was happy with that. It may not seem like he is happy in the picture, but he just got done throwing a huge fit about nothing.
