Hi Laura-- I'm so glad this phase won't last forever... I do have a child who
is older t than my 3 yo. He will be 6 in Sept, and is a little bit better
about helping to clean...but not a whole lot. He is more or less
inconsistent attitude-wise when it comes time to clean. Maybe he's crossing
out of one phase into another. :) Sounds like your son did a great job
taking care of his mess in the kitchen! I look forward to that! :) ~Karen
