Have you ever noticed that every year the rules change with kids? One year your supposed to put them on their back, the next their tummies and then it's flip flopped again. Same with teaching them anything. Some experts say to teach them as soon as they start sitting up and other say let them be kids.
Well, in the house we tend to make our own rules and just go with whatever works. As long as it doesn't cause immediate danger to the kids. The youngest is 16 months and our oldest is 7. The 16 month old didn't have any responsibilities UNTIL we found this
bath toy organizer!
When not in use it just hangs on the wall, holding toys. Once they are in the tub though, it's game on! My LO has begun to ENJOY scooping up his toys with this large but lightweight organizer!
I'm sure there are others with stories like this, but I just had to share how my 16 month old got himself, his first chore!
