Now, getting him to straighten up his room and put away his toys... that is another story... |

I don't like them to put their laundry away (because I want it to stay folded nice), but they have to bring it downstairs and sort it before I wash it.
Cleaning windows/mirrors is also a fairly easy thing for kids to do.
Does he already make his bed in the morning?

The trash is a good one and helping with the laundry too... no he doesn't make his bed currently.
We recently just moved and he doesn't have a bed frame yet... just mattress on the floor lol so I haven't focused on that much.
Getting him to clean his room used to be tough, but now that my boyfriend is around he tends to do whatever he says lol...
