Chloe’s Chore Training

 IMG_5204

We walked into our bedroom after watching a show the other night, and found Chloe sleeping in our bed… She was cozy on a pile of pillows and wouldn’t be disturbed by our giggling and photo-taking!

If you notice on my side of the bed in that picture, there is a little frame with a picture she drew that day of our house.  And she made me a happy face with play dough during our craft time.  With these items, she carefully set up this cute little vignette on my nightstand.  How thoughtful!!

You may be asking “why is she not sleeping in her own bed?”  Well, the answer is because she didn’t want to mess up her own bed after IMG_5206she made it this evening.   (notice that she has her blue purple blanket folded and place atop of her pink blanket which is folded).

And THAT was spurred on by this…

We started a new chore organizer program today.  We can pick different chores for her, based on the time of day, and hang them up appropriately.  Then, during that time of the day, whatever she accomplishes, she takes off the hook and puts it in the “I DID IT"!” box.  At the end of the day, she gets a token for whichever items she completed.  Phil and I will come up with a reward chart where she can determine what her tokens can be used for.

SO… all that to say that she hasn’t quite learned the importance of doing certain things at certain times of the day – such as, making your bed in the morning instead of right before you go to bed!!  We are working on that.  In the meantime, she found a cozy spot on mommy’s side of the big bed!

She looks so angelic there, it actually looks like she has some make up on too. He skin is so perfect!

Where did you get that chore chart? Did you make that or buy it somewhere?
