He really did a pretty good job after I took the time to teach him on the second one. Of course he was more interested in listening after he has settled down a little. <BR/><BR/>Maybe I don't do a very good job of clearing the plates but I think Josh does fine. The girls on the other hand can't set the table most the time. It is amusing when they set it though because invariably they give Kathy and I the little forks. I think they do it on purpose to get a laugh now. They used to do it because they wanted to be big and use the big forks.<BR/><BR/>JamesThe Preacher's Household:https://www.blogger.com/profile/10711208681612754649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6285967511506467822.post-51918581091839991122007-05-30T19:47:00.000-07:002007-05-30T19:47:00.000-07:00Lisa, all of my kids 'service' their plates - they...Lisa, all of my kids 'service' their plates - they take them to the sink or kitchen cabinet after scraping what is on them off into the trash. Josh rinses and loads the dishwasher. Kobi and Kyli wipe down the table. None of them do a good job with any of it, but the important part is that they try. <BR/><BR/>Monalea, my friend and I were talking today about how hard it is for me to just let Josh try anything and not have to get it right or be the best. I am not like that with my girls so I don't understand why I am like that with him. He must feel tremendous pressure and I try to not do it but it just comes natural.

It took me a long time to learn that is was commendable for a child to try and not get it just right.<BR/><BR/>Lisa, Start little, start young and then hang on for dear life.
