It's like I've won the damn lottery!!!

It's the best when they can actually do things useful for you! I remember when we realized DD could open the sliding door to let the dogs in and out. It was amazing. Whenever we leave the house she crates the dogs, gives them each a treat and locks their crates. Score!!

This is only good if they do it when they are supposed to, lol. DD let Boopers out of her crate twice when I was in the shower. Fortunately Boop had the sense not to pee in the house when DD failed to let her out back before breakfast! Usually she needs to pee first thing.

I also caught DD shorting Boop's kibble, lol

DD started this about 4 months ago along with feeding the cats. I got her a chore chart so she can earn some money

Yep! It's the best feeling huh?

DD1 gets up around 6:30/7. DD2 doesn't usually wake up until 8:30/9 (which is, coincidentally, when *I* like to get up). She's learned how to make herself a bowl of cereal and find her shows on tv. She also knows what counts as 'emergency, wake up Mom' and what can wait. Cat puke = can wait, kitchen sink leaking everywhere = wake up Mom.

It's the best! Time hop just reminded me that I posted, "P just changed O's diaper, this is the best thing that happened to me since he learned how I take my coffee."

Having useful kids is so awesome!

DD1 will feed DD4 her bottle and hold her. My cousin posted on FB that her 8 yo DS has done the laundry all week! I actually believe her.
