That's Dusting, Mopping, Laundry, for those of you unfamiliar. Yep, Jackson's trying to coin the next hot acronym and I think he might be onto something. :) He might look a lot like his Dad, but he definitely has some of his Mommy in there too, and this little guy loves housework.

He has become so helpful around the house. He wants to see everything you're doing and see what he can do to assist. Any time he gets his hands on any sort of cloth, he's wiping something! No matter where he is, he hears the dishwasher open and comes running. And let me tell you, this boy LOVES to vacuum. He once threw a tantrum in protest that we had nothing else to vacuum!

The term "help" is used loosely, of course, but he seems to be very interested in chores. I just wonder why they are so interested and "helpful" when they don't quite have to coordination, strength, or know-how to get the job done, but as they gain the necessary skills, they lose interest?

I hope Jackson doesn't lose his love of vacuuming because I would be just fine never vacuuming again!
