Vacuum

Since the last episode of the Dyson vacuuming OO's toys (or so she's been led to believe), OO as been terrified of all vacuum cleaners. She would put up a fight and do everything in her power to stop me from vacuuming the floor - from making up seemingly logical reasons of why I shouldn't vacuum, to physically standing between me and the vacuum.

In order to keep the house suitable for human inhabitation, I had to wait till she's gone to sneak in my vacuuming job. It felt like cheating on her almost. Yesterday, in the middle of our daily vacuum struggle, OO announced that she'll take over vacuuming, so that no toys would be sucked away. She vacuumed with such zeal I found it most amusing. She bent and inspected all the the corners to make sure it's free of crumbs and dust bunnies, and would rush back to start vacuuming again at the sight of a grain of rice... I honestly think she can almost rival my obsessiveness when it comes to vacuuming.

For now, I'm happily letting my 4-year old vacuum our house. She does a bang up job, to say the least. And who knows how long this will last?
