Working for food and milk

Miss Chloe is really helpful or rather a very busybody. She wants sweep the floor, help me shell the peas, cook and clean. She fights for the clothe, the mop and the spatula. I hope she will be shooing me away, fighting to do all these some 15 years later. 16 years old, can cook a decent meal and scrub the toilets, yah?

At the toy shop the other day, she was 'ironing' a romper like a pro with the plastic iron on the board. All of us had a good laugh as she took her work so seriously, smoothing out the lines on the romper first before 'ironing' it and placing the iron back on the holder nicely. Simon thought part of her daily routine includes sitting by the side of the ironing board watching me do the ironing. No way, I'm very anal about lines on my clothes, so no one is to distract me while I do the job. Anyway, she would never sit quietly and watch.

So to keep her busy or entertained, I let her throw her soiled diaper every morning, put her pyjamas into the laundry basket and throw bits and pieces of paper into the dustbin.

Wiping the floor while watching Mickey Mouse, multi-tasking. The mop is adjusted to her height and she loves doing this, actually she kind of re-distribute the dust around.

'Find me some leaves to sweep. '

'Ah-ha! I spot something under the chair.'

Wiping her toys.

Making sure that every piece is thoroughly clean.
