Clean.

Both children now scrape their plates into the trash when finished eating and place (Place, throw, whatever.) those plates in the sink. I knew Rory could do it, but I just watched Tate toddle into the kitchen, slowly push his sandwich crumbs into the trashcan, and then put his plate into the sink.

I made a big deal out of it, telling him how big and wonderful he is, and he just nodded. Then he reached out his hand and said "Cookie".

Hey. Bribery works.

And I have a clean/neat kitchen.
