Just to let anyone who might be interested know: a 6 yr. old can sort laundry. I labeled our laundry sorter specifically (i.e. "Whites, undies, socks"). One of the girls' rotating chores is to drag in the laundry baskets from the bathrooms. Fiona (and soon Bryn) will be able to sort that laundry and then return the baskets to their places. I love any bit of help I can get. Have I mentioned how much I love them getting older?! Oh, and, BTW, how does a family of 5 produce so much laundry? And why do I hate laundry so intensly when I love being a mom so much? And why can't kids come automatically with maids so moms can do all the tons of fun stuff we desire with our kids instead of all the chores? (I guess sanctification has some bearing.)
