Put 'em to Work

People always want to know how we do it around here.  I guess I'll share my secret.

We put them to work early washing dishes.

Not really.  

Emmie was sitting beside me on the counter one afternoon while I washed a few dishes.  She saw the water and was ecstatic.  So, I ran some clean water and we let her go to town.  It was such a delight seeing her kick and squeal even if it meant our counters (and shirts) were soaking wet.
