Daniel: we start them on chores young! & video

Posted by spots (Singapore, Singapore) on 7 February 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.

A 17 month old can be fairly useful around the house - especially when it comes to simple chores, like sweeping the yard. ^__^

I'm jus kidding of course. But Daniel does tend to try & mimic the chores I do around the house, like vacuuming and sweeping and wiping. What a parrot! :) Check out this video of him sweeping.

p.s. I especially like the top right pic where it looks like he's really sweeping with style!

Dan is surely learning fast but you need to keep a watchful eye over his every move, though. I wonder what help he can give when Benj arrives.

Hi Ruth! I love the bottom middle picture...the broom head's huge and it looks like Daniel's sweeping the slippers into position =D He's also very photogenic =) I love the end bit of the video where he runs off camera to presumably get closer to you =D Have a great day!

thanks! the collage was easy to do - used picasa by google and made it automatically! :)
bwee - nope, that is no apron! he's jus wearing his normal jacket with hood + his pants (which are quite baggy, so it may look like an apron!)
