How do you do laundry?

There is a certain way of doing laundry here at our house. It's called: "you can't start a load of laundry without Austin" method. Here's how it goes:

1. Mommy puts Austin on top of the dryer

2. Mommy turns the dial to the necessary spot

3. Austin pulls the dial out to start the water

4. Austin helps pour the soap into the cup, Mommy dumps it into the washer

5. Mommy hands to clothes to Austin, he proceeds to put them in the washer

6. Austin helps pour the fabric softener in the cup, Mommy dumps it into the washer

7. Austin gets to dump 3 cups of additional water on the clothes after the fabric softener is gone

8. Austin puts the top back on the fabric softener and screws it on

9. Mommy closes the washer, Austin steps on top of the washer and then jumps into Mommy's arms!

Of course he must help with moving the clothes from the washer to the dryer once their done washing! His favorite part about this is that he gets to clean the lint off the trap. He does not however, help me fold or hang up the clean clothes. I guess I'll have to wait a few years for that. No matter how hard I try, I can never get a load of laundry started without my little helper!
