P does things that make me laugh. Lately her new obsession is cleaning. She finds a wipe of some kind, ie: diaper wipe, Clorox wipe, Kando wipe, anti-bacterial wipe, anything and starts wiping things down. A few days ago it was in the car. She pulled a wipe out of the glove compartment and started cleaning the windows and dashboard. “I clean, I clean! ” she says.
Yesterday I noticed she pulled toys out and cleaned them as well. Where does she get this behavior? I thought about the things I do with her or say to her. I remembered I often say: “can you play with your toys while I clean the house a bit”. I say this daily as I try to get a few minutes to pick up in the mornings and evenings.
I’m excited she is understanding that cleaning is part of our daily process. I’m also touched she wants to imitate me and feels so proud as she does it. It’s a huge honor and responsibility.
Love it! Cleaning is a huge part of Montessori. Very engaging – and practical too. E has just started doing the ironing. Replacing window washing as her favourite task! So would I be crazy to get A pint-sized cleaning supplies for her bday 😉
