Child Labor

We are making James work. He is helping with laundry below.



He is actually very enthusiastic to do his little chores around the house. He has grabbed on to the idea of the chore chart because he knows he gets a toy. The chores go by too quickly and then it's time for another toy. I've told Jim that with our next chore chart we need to up his game. He needs to do more chores for a toy. I'm actually waiting to put a chore chart back up on the fridge until he asks for it. We need some time between toys.

Some of the "chores" he's done: clean up toys, do laundry, help with dishes, stay dry all day, use nice words/be good, pick up trash. I think we'll be adding "get dressed by himself" and use the potty by himself (he just likes us to tag along, he's pretty independent otherwise).

There's just so much to think about!
