Jack's chores (sort of)

One of the pitfalls of having a dog is picking up its poop. Well, we have TWO dogs, so it's twice as bad! We've always joked that we couldn't wait until we had a kid that was old enough to pick it up for us. We'd even be willing to pay $$$ for that job!

Somehow during dinner last night, the conversation about Jack being old enough to do that chore came up. During the discussion, Bryan asked Jack if he knew how to pick up poop. Jack's response - Yes!

Dinner ended, we were starting to clean up and Jack was messing with his high chair. A few minutes had passed since our conversation about dog duties and Jack suddenly exclaimed, "Go get it!?!" He was pointing down the hallway toward his room. He said it again, "Go get it?" We weren't sure what he was talking about, so we just said, "Yeah, whatever, go get it."

A little time passed and we could her Jack struggling to drag something down the hallway. All while he kept grunting and saying "big." He showed up in the kitchen with this:

Yes, that's his diaper pail. At first, I was utterly lost as to why he was dragging it down the hallway. Then it came to me.... Bryan just asked him if he knew how to pick up poop.

Of course, he does. It's right in his room. And he was so stinkin' proud of himself! (Lucky for us... I had just emptied it earlier that day!)
