Brown Bear Gets a Bath

Brown Bear has had a wonderful time with Reed, but he has to head back to school.  Before he leaves, he got a fun bath in the washing machine.  Reed was so cute as he loaded him in the washer.  He wanted to make sure he was OK and happy. This is when I realized making a washer sound too fun could cause problems.  Fun for bears, but not for kids.  

Time to wash?

I bought Ryland a new shirt, and he was very excited to wear it.  Now. 

I told him that I would wash and dry it, so he could wear it later in the week when it warmed up outside.  He asked me if I had washed and dried it about 30 minutes later.  I told him no, and this is what I found in the laundry room....

 

Ryland threw the clothes in dryer on the floor and put the wet clothes in the dryer.  He then informed me that the washer was ready for his shirt. 

 

He wasn't so subtle in telling me it was time to wash, at least he is helping with chores.

Washing and watching

It has been several months since John Chris has had a shiny, clean truck.  He had two great helpers assist in vacuuming and wiping the interior, but they both just watched him wash the exterior.  I am thinking he chose to contain rather than chase while washing. Looking good!
