my son is pushing a trash can in circles around the kitchen.

[ulysses]

On two feet behind it, mind you, and he's learned to navigate the thing, but still. A trash can. Last night he was giving his toy chicken a ride on it.

Ok, we've moved on to the plasticware cabinet.

1. Is your kitchen that messy

that your son has to clean it up?

[ulysses]

3. it will be

when he's done with the Tupperware. x(

[MissHoneychurch]

5. At least

your glass is put safely away. Is it?

[ulysses]

7. oh yes.

The only accessible cabinets are the ones with plastic and the pan lids he likes to get out and toss. Makes a great noise, if you're ten months and like the sound of metal on vinyl.

[MissHoneychurch]

9. You don't??

*innocent and amazed look on face*

[ulysses]

10. my listening tastes have changed, yes.

:)

2. He's not 21 or anything, right?

[ulysses]

4. he's on his way. n/t

[Gormy Cuss]

6. Next, teach him to walk behind the vacuum cleaner.

Little ones love that VROOM VROOM sound of a motor. The plus side is he'll learn that chores are fun.

[ulysses]

8. it's funny.

When I was his age and older, the vacuum scared the absolute hell out of me. He wants to grab it.

11. My 3-year-old is terrified of the vacuum cleaner...

He runs off to his room and hides until I'm done. Gives me a great excuse not to vacuum when I'm feeling lazy though. Don't want to traumatize the poor kid, you know. ;-)

[ulysses]

12. heh!

I have to be careful of vacuuming fingers.

[mzteris]

13. my son used to push

a kitchen chair all over the kitchen...

:hi:

[WCGreen]

14. Careful, he's headed toward Gayness....

And a Broadway career in Stomp....

[RevCheesehead]

15. Funny - I've been doing the same thing.

[ulysses]

16. do you give rides to your toy chicken?

:silly:

[RevCheesehead]

17. I toss the discarded chicken carcass across the room...

and sometimes hit the garbage can. Does that count? :silly:

18. When my kids were little...

I had a "special" cabinet just for them. Mostly Tupperware and things with no sharp points.
They thought they were getting into no-no land, but I was way ahead of them. The cabinet
held items I seldom used. I would make a big deal (in a fun kind of way), that they were
disrupting my kitchen. :-)

They are now 28 and 30 now, and they still remember...

Enjoy that little one. He will be gone before you know it.

[Heidi]

19. Now that he's got the hang of circular movements,

it's time to teach him to mop. :D

[ulysses]

21. LOL!

:hi:

[bicentennial_baby]

20. And you're loving it!

I'm so happy for you and the Mrs...what joy he has brought to your lives...finally. So f'n wonderful it is :hug:

[ulysses]

22. not me...no...

:D

[TrogL]

23. My son doesn't know what a trash can is

You should see his room.

Occasionally he'll go in with a snow shovel and dig it out direct into a garbage bag.
