When your child hands you 2 dust bunnies (the dust that accumulates when you have hardwood floors, for all you carpet-only types), it might be time to clean. True, Eddie can pick something up the size of a seseme seed, but when you can see that he is clearly handing you a dust bunny (I won't describe the exact size, lest Den get embarassed by that information being made public), it's a definite sign.
I broke out the dustmop to attack the situation and Eddie, I'm sure much to Den's delight, decided to clean under the TV cabinet when I set the mop aside after a couple swipes. Don't want to take on too much too soon. How soon is too soon to give your child cleaning responsbilities? He already likes to put his toys away. I'm enjoying this while I can, because once he finds out what a slob I am, he'll probably go that way--or join his dad is wanting a clean house. Which side do I prefer?
I know of a cousin of Eddie's who used to dump the dirt out of a flowerpot, just so he could get the vaccum out to clean. Needless to say, this cousin no longer has this compulsion to clean.
