Wash a chair

This was also inspired by Montessori. I asked her, "Would you like to learn how to wash a chair?" To my surprise, she responded enthusiastically. So I got a cup of water and two wash towels. We went over to one of the kitchen chairs, and I explained how to do it. I went back and forth, back and forth, really carefully, just like in the Montessori method. She watched, very focused, and then got her little towel and imitated me. The more careful I was, the more careful she was likely to be. We ended up doing all the chairs, and she did the last one herself. She was SO PROUD. "Look, Daddy! Look what I did! I washed this chair!!! It won't be dirty when you sit on it, because I washed it!"
