Child labor laws aren't applicable when it's your own child, right?

Ben helps around the house by doing the following (seriously):

• Putting dirty utensils into the basket in the dishwasher (his 1 Tru Luv 4eva)
  
• Handing me clean utensils (and sometimes plates and bowls) from the dishwasher to put away
• Helping me pull laundry out of the dryer
• Handing me clean clothes to fold
• Helping us clean up his toys before bed time

Who knew a 16 month old could help so much? Okay, most of the time he actually slows down the process, but he does keep me from having to bend down. Plus, then I can use precious nap time to do more important things like update my blog and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
