Chore Chart

Gaines has found a new toy that he wants and talks about it 24 hours a day.  We really wanted to get this for him but could not come up with a good reason to buy it for him and lets face it we have got to figure out some way for our kids to not think they just get a toy a day. 

Little People Castle

Can't you just see Gaines playing on the iPad and looking at this picture thinking how much fun this will be?!?! This is perfect timing for the new show that he is addicted to on Nick called Mike the Knight.

So I came up with the chore chart and Gaines and I sat down and agreed on what all he would do daily to earn $1 leading up to the $24 to buy it. Needless to say after the three days of not earning any money, we had to revise our list! I may have set the bar a little high pooping in the potty and no time-outs was a little much for my child. 

We narrowed it down to 4 items. He earns a sticker for each chore from now until Valentine's Day and then if he has done all of this and gives the paci to the Paci Fairy she will bring him his castle. 

Chore List:

1. Pooping in the potty

2. Drinking a cup of milk

3. Picking up toys

4. Listening to your Mommy and being nice

I will let you know if he is playing with his castle come February 15th!
