Jobs around the house

One of the important lessons I am learning: the kids are old enough to do jobs. And of course, once you start asking them, it becomes a chore to them... but they can still do it. We already have Mr 6 making his bed every morning, and tidying up his lego, but there wasn't much else being done. I am probably guilty of a certain amount of gate keeping, because they don't quite do it 'right', and also, it was easier for me to do it, than be the band major and direct all the time.
Some things we have started incorporating into the routines:

• Helping to completely clear the table at the end of dinner
• Helping to pick up toys/general tidy in the living area once or twice a week
• Putting things away properly after one has finished using them
• Putting ones dirty laundry in the basket after bath times (and the wet towel back into the bathroom)
• Helping to fold the sheets, and pairing socks

But the most exciting one to me: folding the basket of towels. Because I finally realised, folding in our house isn't that fancy - fold in half, then in half again, and sometimes in half again, but that is all. And even Mr nearly 4 can do that. I do the towels, they do everything smaller.
And while they're doing it, I'm not...
