I always feel confident when I’m away from home, that things will get taken care of. The house will be cleaned up, and always, always vacuumed.
To her own request, we indulged Baby Blue with a vacuum of her very own. Not a day goes by where it is not in use.
She will disappear and after just a few minutes, a mild humming sound will come from upstairs. We know she is teaching her ‘baby’ the very important task of keeping the floor clean.
Usually, when her room is finished, she will ask to vacuum mine, and then the office, and then ask for help moving this work downstairs, to which I always allow her request. Thankfully my Baby Blue loves child labor.

Corey~living and loving says
so tell me…is it a REAL vaccum? cause I don’t see a cord. I may be silly in asking….but I have never seen such a huge toy vaccum either. LOL
mommaof4wife2r says
she is so precious…and i love the look of determination on her face. hmmm…wonder where she gets that?
if i can only get my teen as excited about cleaning…it’s not gonna happen is it?
antoinette marie says
good for you teaching those habits early on….asher thinks the toys actually belong on the floor, lol! blessings…
Erin, Nick and Merrick says
LOVE those silver picture frames in the background- where did you get them from??
Amy says
She is just too darn cute. Teach her how to clean now, because when she gets to be the ages of my girls, she won’t want to do ANYthing.
Cindy says
now how about that! what a sweetheart!
Jaden Paige says
haha that is SO adorable! Isn’t it great how they always want to help out?
My girl loves to help pick up her toys… Of course it helped that there was a song on one of her favorite shows (Jack’s Big Music Show) that proclaims- “Clean ’em up! Clean ’em up! And put ’em away, put ’em away, put your things away!” Now she loves to tromp around the house picking up messes and singing the song. 🙂 I swear, that singer is a GENIUS!
Prasti says
too cute. i love the fact that her vacuum is a real vacuum that sucks up dirt…not a pretend one.
never to early to introduce your children to child labor ;o).
Sara says
That is so sweet, she is such a little helper! My youngest two have vaccums too (we had to get TWO cause they fought over it)… hopefully it will keep up when they’re all teenagers. Yeah right!
Izzy 'N Emmy says
Aw, that is so sweet! Emmy loves the vacuum, but Izabel runs! lol! She’s going to be such a tidy little girl, your baby blue.
Aleta says
Wow – I’m impressed that she cleans! I’m…. speechless… I didn’t think children did that any more, I guess because of what my friends tell me about their kids. Bravo to your daughter and to you!
FRIGGA says
I <3 kids that <3 vaccums!!! It's one of the greatest toys a kid could have! 😉
Briony says
she’s such a little helper…haha so cute! when i was little i loved washing the dishes…i would stand on a chair and sing to myself for the longest time. haha. I loved it. I think it had something to do with the soap bubbles and feeling grown up.
Marla says
She is just too cute for words 🙂
TAB says
I just love your photographs. They are amazing and your daughter is adorable. Are you a photographer or do you just have a good eye? Maybe that’s a stupid question. Also, what kind of camera(s) do you use? Your blog is so nice.
Michelle says
Great angles Tabitha!
Kelly says
Way to be a good helper, Baby Blue! Want to come ‘play’ vaccum at my house…we have plenty of floor to vaccum here? Owen enjoys chasing the vaccum and seeing how many balls I can pick up with it…maybe you could teach him a lil’ something!!!
[email protected] says
That is so adorable, mine loves dusting LOL I’m sure in 10 years they’ll watch us like we’re crazy when we ask them to help LOL
jennykate77 says
Child labor…LOL…you should keep this on the down-low! She is adorable. I love the one where she’s showing her baby the ropes.
Hope you’re having a terrific Thursday!
Stephanie @ bizziemommy.com says
You are so lucky, my daughter hates the vacuum but she loves the broom. Great pics. She can come vacuum my place if she wants, anytime!
Gerri says
She is learning some pretty good habits early!
Jenny in Utah says
You’ll let her go to the ball when the prince needs a wife, right??? 😉
Nerdy Jess says
LOL awe, thats so cute!
Robin says
I’d love for her to come over and vacuum my house sometime. And not because I am lazy but because she is so cute! 🙂
Femin Susan says
Hi…….
Nice shots…… Good job….
bfs ~ "Mimi" says
Oh, I loved this post!
As if it were yesterday, I can still see my daughter, now 36, vacuuming her room at age 4-5. She loved doing that! Such a sweet, sweet age!
Your little one is such a cutie!
Janie says
She could be a source of revenue, you know! 😉
The Panic Room says
Loved the shots. the perspective was perfect. The baby in the arms the whole thing. Great shooting.
Jerrie says
She is so incredibly cute.
My son had a little vacuum (working somewhat) when he was little too…Now, at 13, it is still his job! Lovely! 🙂
The Acting Mom says
Too cute!
Jen r. says
I love child labor! Our 2 year old received a mini Dyson for x-mas and vacuums all of the time… we should have done what you did and bought her a real one!
tara @ kidz says
You know that’s illegal, right??? ;o)
I so want to hire her!
Wifey Dessert says
that is so cute!!! it’s great that she is being so helpful 🙂
Blissful Babe says
OMG Tabitha. That is freaking CUTE. My son wants a broom his size. I’m having trouble finding one that isn’t pink. I may just have to paint it!
He wants to vacuum, too. I’m just afraid he won’t be able to handle the monster. It’s just so big and he is so little! He may be 11, but he looks like he’s 6 or 7! So cute.
I hope that continues on for Baby Blue! What a great way to start life!
xoxo
Ashley says
This is incredible. I’m definitely going to buy one of these whenever I have children and show them how ‘fun’ it is to vacuum! In the meantime, can she come over to my place?
traci says
she’s going to be a good mommy. she can balance the vacuum and a baby on he hip already.
Sturgmom says
That is HI-larious! And cute!! I’m lucky if the boys (5 & 6) take their dishes to the kitchen after mealtime. Vacuuming? Ha.
G. says
what a cutie! My daughter has the same shirt in a blue color, and looks like we have the same socks too, with the heel and toe colors!
Jaina says
What a sweetheart! I have to admit, I love vacuuming. Not so big on most other chores, but I love that one. Everything just looks so nice after a fresh vacuum.
