I’ve started Corwin on doing some minimal amounts of cleaning around the house (better him than me!). While Mom was out I gave him the choice of picking up and sweeping around the media room / kitchen, or scrubbing the dishes and putting them in the dishwasher. Corwin elected to handle the dishes, on which he did an OK job of brushing the big chunks off with a scrubber and loading them in to the dishwasher.
When Charles saw this, he wanted to help too (if Big Brother is doing it, it is definitionally way cool). To Charles I gave a wet wash cloth and told him to wipe off the kitchen table, which was encrusted with debris from the ravening wolf boys who don’t quite see to grasp the concept of a plate as something one eats over in addition to being a convenient resting place for not yet consumed food. Charles did a good job and got the table almost clean. Charles then tried sweeping up a bit with a small brush and dust pan (as the table thing is kind of iffy for the boyen). He was not quite as successful in this endeavor but I give him points for trying. Sadly, Corwin used to want to do that kind of thing as well but he grew out of it in short order. I expect the same from Charles (who already will not pick up any of his toys).
