Guest guest Posted July 11, 2006 Report Posted July 11, 2006 Ok I had to share... We have really been trying to include Ella in house hold chores: laundry,wiping counters,and the most fun...checking the mail. One day a couple weeks ago while I was checking the mail, Ella Picked up an envelope of trash maill(aka junk mail), and I said " Thats trash Ella " so she turned around and threw it away in the trash by the mail box...it was great! Now when I check the mail, I set all the junk mail on the floor and Ella puts each one in the trash, I have to be careful, because shes quick, so i cant drop any bills in there on accident! Ella also helps put the wash in the dryer, it helps that our apartment has front loading ones...but she really enjoys helping. I think Ella feels accomplishment when she helps us do a big person task, and she is included and that is always good. I cant wait to see what else she will want to help with, its too bad she cant wash dishes Enjoying Ella and sharing with my friends, Aimee Quote
