Our Tom Sawyer

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure it was Tom Sawyer who had to paint his fence and ended up getting it done by putting his friends to work. Well, I've decided Ethan is our modern day Tom Sawyer.
He's pretty lazy. Hate to say it but it's true. Over the past month when it is chore time in the morning Ethan has been so good to Lucas. He talks in his nice high pitched sweet voice "Lucas do you want to do chores together." To Ethan's credit he does help Lucas get dressed (he even changes his diaper). The other day I said, "Ethan thank you so much for being so nice to Lucas in the morning and letting him do chores with you."
He responded so matter of factly, "Well, that way I don't have to pick anything up."
I'm usually busy getting myself ready during his chore time so this week I started to pay attention. Sure enough, Ethan sits on his bed pointing to the toys Lucas needs to pick up. "Good Lucas, now go get that toy and put it away. No not there it goes in the other basket. Ok, now come get....." You get the picture. Lucas has become his slave!
Even though Ethan is lazy he has created a GREAT worker out of his brother.
