Folding Laundry

I had the cutest experience with Britten today that I wanted to share. Sarah was watching a quiet time and I sat down on the floor to fold about 3 loads of laundry. Britten was hanging out by me and said, "hey mom, I can help you fold the laundry." I looked at him thinking, no you don't know how to fold laundry. So I thought I would give him something easy and tossed him a pair of his underwear. He neatly folded them and added them to his pile. Then I tossed him one of his t-shirts and he spread it out on the floor, folded both the arms in, folded in half and then in half again. He told me he learned to fold the laundry at preschool. I was not sure if they had a lesson on household chores or if my friend Anna is really putting our kids to work around her house... Anyway - it was so cute because he sat beside me folding laundry. Who would have thought my 5 year old could be such a huge help! Actually he is, he always helps me clear the table and pick up things off the floor. I am such a lucky mom to have him for a son!
