It has begun. Richard has his own chore charts. Some things he already does every day: brushing teeth, saying prayers, exercise, getting dressed. But now he is helping me with laundry, vacuuming, making his bed and putting away dishes. He gets a sticker every time he does something and at the end of the week will get $$ to go in his piggy bank.

He also has a bonus chore. This week the bonus chore is helping keep garbage off the floor and couches. If he helps with that all week he will get an ice cream cone. He is pretty excited about that one! But he has been a great help around the house the last couple of days.

When Chris got home from work yesterday, Richard showed him the charts with great pride. Chris told me that he asked if Mommy had made one for Daddy. Maybe I'll surprise him with one today! :)
