Tanner loves to "hep" me with chores- especially the ones that get messier before they get better (such as sweeping). He is also particularly attached to our new dustpan, now that it actually has a handle (thanks, Susie- I think I had a landfill issue...). Tanner spent one day carrying it everywhere...up and down the stairs, in and out of rooms, in the highchair, and it had to be in his hand when reading with his dad. Not sure what this means, but it is totally uncorrelated to his mess-making tendencies. He can ruin a room fast...
