Cruel child labor?

I know they set those child labor laws into motion for a reason.
But who am I to rob my son of his joy?
Yesterday, it would seem my son began what I hope is a lasting love affair with mopping.
Today he begged me to let him mop the kitchen floor.
I 'reluctantly' agreed. HA!
I got out the Pine-sol and told him to get after it!
He is a really great mopper!
When he finished, the floors in my kitchen and dining room were super-sparkly! I just went on and on about it!
He wanted to do more.
What kind of mother would I be if I denied him his good, clean fun? (drumroll)
I said, "you can go do your bathroom..." He just gushed with happiness.
He came back, practically skipping all the way. I will say, I know just how to brag on that boy to keep him coming back for more!! Like father, like son.
He asked if he HAD to quit.
I suggested he go mop the entry way. He was elated!!!
Man! What a humdinger of a deal!
I got to prepare dinner and avoid major catastrophe.
Normally, while I cook or clean or try to do ANYTHING other than invest 100% of myself into them - I can be guaranteed a catastrophe.
Momma learned a new trick. Give him something really helpful to do. He loves being a part. He absolutely eats it up!
And now I get to relax in my perfectly clean house, well at least until 8:15 tomorrow morning...
