My daughter is on a "I'll help, what can I do?" kick. I love it. She's old enough now to carry/open some things that may have been too heavy/hard just a few months ago. She carries things to the car, opens doors, puts away dishes, etc. It's awesome!
Does your child like to help?

DS has never been a helper
DD has always been one - the other day I was cleaning the toilet and she said "I want to help let me do it!' Umm, ok here

Yes, she wants to help with EVERYTHING....loading the washing machine, folding clothes, cooking, baking, putting on mommy's make-up......

Yes! It's adorable, but can also be frustrating since she's only 12 months. She likes to "help" unload the dishwasher, take clothes out of the dryer, close the washing machine door, close the fridge, buckle the chest clip in her car seat, put clothes in the hamper, and bring me her shoes, her coat, etc.

Yes! He is 4.5 and loves to help me clean. Last weekend he got the vacuum out, I showed him how to use it, and he vacuumed our two rugs. He will also dust, help me with laundry and take the garbage out.

Yup and sometimes it's nerve wracking, but I'm learning to be lenient and let things happen. He needs to learn sooner or later, might as well take advantage of the fact he voluntarily wants to right now. lol. He's 3

Yeah! He's good at carrying light things, always runs to grab a blanket or wipe when his baby sister spits up alllll over, loves putting things in the garbage, and wipes up (not amazingly) when he spills. The other night I was getting dd undressed for bath and he took his clothes and diaper off, turned the tap on, and put DD's baby tub into the bath. So helpful!!
ETA: he also helps feed the dogs, empty the dishwasher, and with the laundry. Today he also picked out his clothes himself.

OMG YES EVERYTHING.
I think it's cute but it is so exhausting.

Sometimes. Ha! The only way I can get her to follow me inside from the car right now (she's almost 21 months and I'm 8 months pregnant) at the end of the day is by professing that I need her help SOOOOOO bad to get stuff inside and giving her something to carry.

Yes! DD (3.5yo) loves to help, everything except picking up her toys at the end of the day. If it's something I'm doing though, she's all up in my business asking to do it too.
I think DS (14 mo) is going to too - his favorite toy is this small push broom thing, he would sweep all day every day if we let him. DH thinks he's going to be a hockey player
