While I haven't done the research yet, partially because Nina's still around and helps a lot, partially because it's hard to find the right people and that also requires effort, it seems Eitan has stepped up his game and is taking on some cleaning responsibilities around here. It's about time. That kid's been making messes for the past year and nine months without lifting a finger!
One day, he was obsessed with paper towels. He insisted on carrying the package of rolls up the stairs (and his diapers- Amazon subscribe and save diaper delivery- you are MISSED!) and also would not part with them come nap time.
Another day he found the mop/broom thing, I think it's called a spounga here (it's basically a flat squeegee mop that you wrap a cloth around, pour soapy water all over the floor and mop it all out to your attached terrace/mirpeset (or at least that's what I do- probably all wrong)) and went to town imaginarily cleaning up the house. Nice effort bud. I usually do this mopping when he's sleeping- pouring boiling hot soapy water all over the floor + curious toddler, probably not the best combination, but there have been a few times where Ami's been around and occupied him on a chair or couch while I got my mopping on. Either way, he found the mop stick and went to town. He did ask for water and I said no, by the way, so I guess he does understand how it's supposed to be done.

What a nice boy wants to help 'clean up house' while his mommy sits in her pajamas on the couch! Babysteps, babysteps and he'll be mopping for real. Or at least continuing to help collect all his toys and books before nap and bed times.
toooooo cute
