JT is a great helper (so is Haley, but JT is more capable just based on age). The other day we did a bunch of work together. We are pretty much done with indoor playdates for the summer and our small group is over, so it was a good time to get organized. Both kids cleaned out their toys and made piles for garbage, give away, and gift away (that’s the difference between donating and gifting to a younger friend). Then during Haley’s nap I put JT to work. He did a great job!
