Benjamin has been VERY excited about the idea of “doing chores,” and today he was officially given his first Chore Pack. It just bascially contains his morning routine.. use the bathroom, wash face, brush hair, get dressed, put pajamas away.. stuff like that. He also gets to feed the cat, set the table (good way to learn left & right & counting), and “help Mommy” cook in her food prep slot before breakfast. Since he cannot read yet, his Chorepack has pictures (a wonderful bonus of using the Choreware program), and he’s already memorized what each picture means! Daddy is Benjamin’s partner from 5 to 5:30 AM and Mommy has Ben from 5:30 to 6 AM (obviously we trumped our older children’s votes that each of them be his chore partner.. LOL). He’s got an evening & Saturday Chore Pack, too! Of course, the goal is that Benjamin will do each item in his personal routine & and age-appropriate household jobs properly without any help or reminders, in the time alloted on the schedule for chores. But for a good long while, our little cowboy will continue having a partner showing him the ropes. :^) Lucky us! It’s so fun having a little guy in the house again — what an awesome job parenting is!
