Wednesday is laundry day around here (though it feels like laundry day comes much more frequently than just weekly). It's one of my two telework days, so I take advantage of being at home to multi-task. Greatest thing ever. Usually I have to retrieve the kids' dirty clothes from their rooms, but a couple of month ago, Reed started bringing his laundry basket to our room as he headed downstairs on Wednesday mornings.
YAHOO!
Okay so I realize that this might be more a function of him running out of pants, so that triggers him to think 'hey is it laundry day?' but I am still taking it as a victory.
He is doing something that makes my life easier. I love it!
And speaking of pants - I think I've written about this before - but Reed still doesn't like to wear pants that have buttons/zippers. I blame myself for this, because I've always chosen comfortable clothes for him (what one year old needs to be super stylish in cool jeans?) but I keep hoping he'll grow out of it. At the start of fall, we went clothes shopping and he got a pair of jeans and a couple of pairs of jeans-like pants. Then he kept on wearing shorts, despite the temperature, because he "didn't have any pants." Eventually he decided it'd be better to not freeze, and he's been wearing what he considers "fancy" pants more frequently. And lately he isn't even complaining about it! I dare not ask if he actually finds the pants semi-comfortable now...don't want to draw attention to it. But that's what I'm hoping. Maybe, just maybe he's starting to care how he dresses??? Who knows.
Oh and he still loves silly socks, which makes me very happy.
