Let me help!

This has been a HUGE challenge. A always wants to help, and i've been too scared on some things to let him. Well, that's hit a 180 this year. A has his very own rolling pin, and bagel knife for cutting. There's a stool he can always use wherever needed, and I've let him take on more responsibility. He cleans his room, his playroom, and his bathroom. He brings down his sheets if there's an accident, and pushes the buttons on the washer. He vacuums, washes windows, puts his plates away, sets the table, has gotten dressed on his own since 2, brushes his teeth, bathes himself, cleans his art brushes, and feeds the dogs. Keep in mind he's 4. Today, he asked to help clean the floors. The mop was too big, and I knew right away a bowl filled with soap water and two dogs was not going to fly, so I gave him a watering can filled with floor cleaner and water, and a scrubby brush. He LOVED this. Cleaned the entire downstairs (thinking of making this a Monday morning activity every week, and changing the " tool", maybe add a spray bottle? Hmm. Here's our photos :)
