Obviously, we make sure our baby gets a full nights sleep, a good nap, three meals and enough milk each day.
One of my favorite accomplishments, much like my mother, in motherhood is raising a contentious, obedient member of the family. Here is a list of the chores my 21 month old does on a regular basis, organized by level of interest.
