Mommie's Little Helpers

How many of you are as blessed as I am?  I have four wonderful blessings, bringing up the rear are The Twizzles.  Being my SuperMommie self, my Saturdays are filled with errands, cleaning, washing, organizing, etc.  My blessings are following in my footsteps.  


I started off the day with pillow fluffing and sweeping.  Before I knew it The Twizzles decided they wanted to vacuum and sweep.  Princess Liyah wanted to fluff, and my oldest, Tonee, had already starting blessing us with her culinary arts of cooking breakfast and cleaning the kitchen.  Giving your blessings these skills early can seem to be breaking child labor laws to some, but I think that if you don't teach your blessings early how to 

  1. Help you and your family by giving a helping hand, 
  2. Showing that you love your family by giving a helping hand,
  3. Being a productive citizen at home and in the real word by doing your part,
  4. Earn respect and achievement by giving a hand instead of having a hand out
they will not be productive in life, and feel that they are entitled to things instead of feeling that they have earned things. I really have an issue with blessings children feeling that they are entitled for things instead of trying to work for it.  You see I changed my normal word to children.  When they are doing the steps above, I consider them blessings.
