Yeah, this is a shameless brag, but I'm hormonal, so....
The other night, I was feeling sickish and tired and was dozing on the couch when I realized that the 5 y/o hadn't brushed his teeth yet. I reminded him, but he wanted me to come with him. My 15 y/o stepped in and volunteered to take his brother upstairs to brush, saying, "I've been through this with you before, Mom, I know how it is."
Then, today, while I was out with dd at her bookclub meeting, he emptied the dishwasher, folded the laundry and picked up the family room. When I got home, he explained, "I know you get tired in the afternoons."
