For the last couple of days TJ has woken up every morning and run down his daily schedule for me.
"First I'm going to Barb's, then I'm going to school for a long long time, then I'm going to Barb's for a long long time, then I'm going to vacuum for a long long time".
Vacuum? Yes Vacuum. Grandma had bought him a toy dirt devil vacuum cleaner for Christmas last year. It has sat in the corner of our living room for months...rarely even looked at. For some reason, it has taken on a whole new fascination for him. This is not unusal, favorite toys come and go. It was not that long ago he and his Diego action figure were inseparatable. However, I am seeing a golden opportunity here. Why on earth would a toy company make a vaccum cleaner the perfect size for a 3 year old and NOT have it actually pick up any dirt?? TJ has "vacuumed" every room in our house twice - which, by the way, is more than I've vacuumed in...nevermind you don't want to know. Maybe they are afraid parents will actually use the toy to make their children do chores...honestly, is that such a bad thing? I'm just saying, if he's doing it anyway......
