Vanessa and Eli shared the same sickness for about a week and Vanessa spent a lot of one day sleeping on the couch. She snuggled up with Calvin's new blue fuzzy blanket he received for Christmas - and he was really wanting his blanket back and wanting to get Vanessa her OWN pink fuzzy blanket. He asked me "Mom, how much is one of those blankets?" I did not know so we looked one up on Amazon. We discovered one she would love (fuzzy, soft pink, 50"x60") was 11.98. He asked dad how he could earn $12 so he could buy her one!!
Dave came up with a list of household chores that were worth a certain amount of money each. Vacuuming, cleaning, mopping, etc...and Calvin set right to work and got the tasks done in the matter of 3 days time. We were so proud of him!
When the blanket arrived, after we'd given him his earned $12 and he paid us back (plus 2 pennies), he wrapped it up and gave it to her. She was so sweet and thankful.
Kudos Calvin!
