Learning to Load
Not too long ago, Yusuf asked if his soccer pants were clean. Being his favorite and first out of the drawer, they were of course dirty. Disappointed, he retreated to his room to find something else to wear. When he emerged still a bit sad, we decided it was time to learn how to do laundry.
Loading and unloading the washer will require a chair for awhile, but he’s very enthusiastic and independent. Mansoor likes to perch himself on the dryer and help his big brother, of course. Yusuf can fold his clothes pretty well now, I try not to obsess about wrinkles, and both the boys are able to put things in their correct drawers.

Yusuf, now that you are learning to wash clothes, I’ll have plenty for you to do on the weekends!!
Assalaamu alaykum Daddy. Thank you for leaving a lot of clothes for me. My favorite part of doing laundry is the part when you get to turn on the machines. Did you know that a man can fit inside a blue whale’s mouth?
Wa alaikum salaam Yusuf. Yes, I don’t think you remember but when we went to the baltimore aquarium, there is a set of whale jaws that people can climb into and have someone take pictures of it. I think the jaws might belong to a blue whale but I’m not sure. There really big!!!
