Nathan's Chores

In our house you have to do chores as part of your contribution to our family. Nathan has 2 chores so far that he has to do. He has to help clean up his toys. We sing the clean-up song (Clean-up, clean-up, Nathan's toys are everywhere, clean-up, clean-up everybody do your share) and he dances and says "clean-up" while he picks up his toys. His other chore is to help unload the dishwasher, specifically the silverware. A friend of mine told me that when her kids were little she just didn't use a silverware drawer divider tray thingy (very technical name) and just had her kids put the silverware in the drawer. That's what we have decided to try and so far it works well. Here is a video of Nathan putting away the silverware (the voices are my neighbor and I): (Still having trouble with this one:( will try again soon).
