Lately one of the things I’ve been working on with Alec is having him stop and look carefully before he leaves a room to see if anything needs to be done. He’s on a new point system to earn his allowance. He gains points by doing things around the house, etc. Tonight, while I was putting Bram to sleep, he completely, without prompting or being asked, told, etc. cleared the table, unloaded the dishwasher, loaded it up with the dirty dishes, picked up the toys off the floor and gave the cats food and water. I was so proud of him and he was very proud of himself that he thought of unloading and loading the dishwasher.
