My 18-month-old daughter follows me around the house and points out imperfections in my cleaning strategy.
“Mess! Dirty!” she says whenever she sees something that isn’t up to her high standards. “Ewww! Wash! Wash water!” She keeps repeating it until I do wash the offending bit of floor or furniture with water.
Yes, I taught her the words, complete with a disgusted facial expression that accompanies “ewww”. It seemed like a fun thing to do at the time. Little did I know she was going to put this fun skill to use so fast.

Maybe she’d like to ‘help’ you! Many toddlers enjoy sweeping, mopping, vaccuum cleaning – with a suitably miniature tool.

Oh yes, she wields her mop like a pro. 🙂 We bought her a little mop and a little broom. It’s beyond cute.

She’ll grow out of the desire to mop etc. though maybe not the desire to boss you about!

Maybe we’ll use the Tom Sawyer strategy, see if it works. 🙂

They also make mini vacuums that actually work. My sister bought one for my nephews and had very clean floors until the novelty wore off.
