Chores and the Pay Off

Over the last few weeks, I've been grabbing the camera to document the girls doing their chores and as I sat down to post this, realized that I only documented Cecilia doing hers because I help her out along the way and so that's how I'm spending my Saturday mornings, doing chores along side her. I'll have to get some more pictures of Marcela next Saturday doing her jobs.

Cecilia has become quite the expert at sweeping the kitchen.

And washing the bathroom mirrors.

And...having a little fun as she does it!

And the pay off? Just the other day we were grocery shopping and when she laid eye on these pants she said she HAD to have them and was so overjoyed that I said the decision was up to her as long as she had the money...she was screaming with joy when we got in the car. She's one who knows what she likes. And she's happy with these fancy pants! And it feels good not to say no and to see her reasoning about how many weeks worth of savings it took to buy one pair of pants that she really wanted.
