cleaning house

Matteo has a deep love for our vacuum. Whenever we use it we put him in his crib or pack and play so he can watch us, and he always he screams with delight as we clean. Yesterday I put him in his crib so I could vacuum his room and he started screaming – but this time because he was upset. Was he afraid of the vacuum? Of course not. He was mad because he wanted to be the one pushing it around.

After I took this video I put the vacuum away and he started crying and ran over to the door to the attic (we keep the vacuum on the attic steps behind a closed door). He wanted it to come out again. He also gets mad if we don’t let him help sweep or use the brush and dustpan. What are the odds he’ll stay a neat freak like this forever? This is awesome.
