Cleanest kitchen floor ever

Quinn has developed an intense love for the kitchen broom and dustpan. He goes to the utility closet and says "Ah! Ah!" until we open it and give them to him. Then our 2.5' tall son carries the 4' high broom around everywhere. He quite often gets it stuck in things but he's improving his broom navigation. He often moves it back and forth as if he's sweeping.

He also is a pretty good dustpan operator. Bec gave him a couple lessons yesterday about holding the dustpan while she swept, and then showed him how to dump it in the garbage can. This morning he wanted to do the same thing with me. He started by shaking the dirt out of the back door mat, and then brought the broom to me and shoved the handle end into my hand. I swept up the dirt and got him to hold the dustpan on the floor while I swept the dirt into it. Then, with only a little bit of help with dustpan stability (and a couple of tries) he dumped the contents into the garbage. He picks stuff up quickly, this kid! Our kitchen floor has never been so clean.
