favourite thing to 'help' with?
Well I am sure all your lo's are into 'helping' you out now :roll: we normally say 'watch out Max is coming to hinder' 
as this is more like it!!!
His favourite for the last couple of weeks has been unloading the dishwasher! He can't really reach the top shelf things but the bottom shelf he empties things one at a time and tries to name them all - every piece of cutlery is currently a 'poo' - his best attempt at spoon even if it is actually a fork. Him emptying our wedding present dinner service makes me cringe - 3 years and nothign broken yet (fingers crossed it stays that way)! It takes FAR longer than if I was to do it myself but there we go. He also ONLY knows how to unload and if you load dirty stuff he is right behind unloading it again!!!
He also loves unloading the washer into a basket!

Brendan loves to help Daddy blow on the fire when the ashes are glowing in the morning to get it going again. And he is also getting very good at bringing washing out of the washing machine for me to put on the clothes horse - just a shame it is one item at a time lol!
Other than that he is pretty much destructive! He wants to climb up onto everything at the moment - its driving me crazy!! xx
He also likes to help with the hoovering, so much so we bought him his own mini dyson so he can do it with that rather than trying to use the big one! He's also pretty nifty with a duster, skirting boards are his thing! Also uses a baby wipe to try and clean his tray on his highchair when he makes a mess! x
Gracie also likes climbing onto the disher door when it's down to 'help'...ie smear the drips of food/drink all over the door and herself!
She likes tidying things into boxes, esp the kids shoe box. Empties it and refills it...not realy helping, more playing!
Must get her into doing the washing, drying, ironing, dusting, floor cleaning....lol.
Dishwasher helping is similar to gracie, he just wants to break the door off it's hinges and touch all the dirty stuff LOL
And hoovering, wow Philip!!!! I can't do the hoovering when zachariah is within a 1 mile radius of the hse as he SCREAMS the place down, the noise really scares him ( along with my hand blender/ food processor/ hair dryer ..... Grr)
fin does the emptying dishwasher as im loading very annoying!
gets the baby wipes and goes around wiping furniture and high chair and then face usually in that order - yuk!
he gets the wet washing out of machine and hands to me one at time and will actually loads washing machine!
loves the dustpan and brush at my mums!
When I get him from his cot I get him to put all his dummies in the corner and pass me his blankets to fold and hang over the side. (Daddy doesn't do this and it drives me made as next time you go to put him in stuff is everwhere)
When my DD was 2 yrs and at Nursery I picked her up and she was in the home corner with a dustpan and brush doing a very good job of tidying. So I took her home, showed her the real one and that was her job!
Oakley will be the same I will not let him be a messy boy he will be a demestic goddess (or I think that should be god).

Cole likes to take stuff to people - he'll take his pj's and towel to pass to daddy over the baby gate and he'll put stuff in bags for me - it took forever to bag up all the veg in asda one at a time!!!
