“Alright, DD#2, take this bucket and fill it as much as you can of toys!”
*Rushes quickly as if I’m timing her*
“Done, Mama!”
“Good! Now take this basket and pick up all the clothes you find!”
*Rushes quickly and sings a little too*
*Comes to me pouting…*
“Mama! I was only able to get two in the basket… [DS] got the reeeest.”
“It’s not a competition silly, it’s okay if he helps you!”
*Big smile* “Ohhh… tsss.”
“Now go into the other room and see if you can find some in there, okay!”
*Runs down the hallway – [DS] and her both giggling about it as they find clothes to put in the basket*
“Here’s all the clothes! Here’s all the clothes I can find! OH! Here’s some pants!”
“Great, pick them up please.”
“THEY-ERRRRR!”
“Great job! Now bring the basket over to the dryer, go blow your nose, and then you can go play some more! Thanks for your help!”
*BIG smile… then RUNS down the hallway.”
