in the genes

As of late I have been particularly impressed with Paul's commitment to & love of cleaning and organizing. Every night when the laundry basket comes upstairs he peers in gleefully carefully selecting an item and giving it vigorous shakes before he carries it proudly across the room to place it in a drawer. This exercise can last for up to an hour. The banter and squeals of delight are worth every misplaced sock, towel or under-roo. He has also developed a helpful hand with vacuuming and will gladly push the sucker around for you while you use the canister and hose to dust. The icing on the cake? He makes vacuum noises while he is working. If there was ever any doubt in this boy's maternal make up I believe it has no been diminished.

Did I mention he also sweeps? With special attention to walls and cobwebs.
