So I just have to brag a bit... Jackson (my 4 yr old) LOVES to help me with the laundry, so I will usually have him fold his clothes that get put in drawers (pants, underwear & pj's) Well today I had TWO FULL laundry baskets of clean clothes just sitting in my room waiting for me to get around to putting them away. Since I wasn't getting to it fast enough, Jackson came to me and asked if he could do the laundry. I told him yes, thinking that he would pick through the clothes and do what he normally does. Well, HE DID THE WHOLE THING. BOTH LAUNDRY BASKETS. I know, I'm shocked. He layed mine and Brent's clothes on the end of our bed (like I do as I'm sorting through) and he folded his clothes that get folded, then he put all of his clothes away in his drawers, and he even pulled his little table over to his closet so he could climb on it and reach his hangers to hang his shirts. He also folded Tate's clothing, but he left those for me to put away. I was so impressed, it seriously brought a tear to my eye. What a gem of a son I have!!! I just love my handsome boy so much, and am so grateful that we get to have him in our family and that I get to be his mommy forever!!!

Wow girlfriend...that's pretty awesome. Talk about getting them trained early. ;)
I love it when they still think it is cool to help out. It was a sad day when my little brother wouldn't do things anymore!
Do you "rent" your son out? I pay well!! And as we all know, I HATE laundry!!! :o) That is so, so cute Shan....but doesn't really surprise me. Jackson is such and "original"...doing his own thing with his very individual personality. What a gem. We love that kid so much!!! Tell him I can't wait for the sleepover!!!!!
What a sweet little boy!! You know they don't get those behaviors on their own, you must be a great mom...
ummmm could you send Jackson over for a few hours today to fold MY 2 BASKETS full of laundry???!!! I am seriously soo jealous you have such a big helper..I HATE laundry. You have trained him well Shanna. I bet you are one proud momma, Jackson is quite handsome I might add too! Love ya Shan!
I dream of the day. I'm sure Matt thinks he's helping as he pulls the clothes out of the laudry basket just as I have finished folding them.
That is SO sweet! It's amazing how much they watch you- he knew just what do to!
So are you slipping some kind of weird medication into his dinner? Perhaps some Comcast High Speed? Whatever it is, I need some. You're a lucky Mom. Hopefully he'll develop all sorts of cleaning OCD's. -Kate
Shanna-thats what kids are for. I can't wait until they can do the dishes!! But I think this is why we can keep having kids...the older ones really are a big help.
Way to go Jack-Jack you the best keep it up we are proud of you. love you all!
