Chore Chart

We recently instituted a chore chart with Elianna. It was mainly for my benefit because I would often forget to have her do things like take her vitamin or brush her teeth. I realize that is a not so proud mommy confession but it's the truth. Every time she completes a task on her chart, she puts a sticker on the chart. Thank you Grammy and Dollar Tree for lots and lots of stickers.

And since I'm in the business of boring people, here is a list of her chores. I could claim that I need to keep this as a reference for the next kid. No, don't even ask. There is no next kid in the oven. Anyway...

-Brush teeth in the morning
-Take vitamin
-Give Harley a bone at lunch time
-Feed Harley at dinner time
-Take dishes from the dinner table to the kitchen
*(except Mondays and every other Tuesday)
-Clean up toys before bed
-Brush teeth before bed

*On Mondays, instead of helping with the dishes, she gathers all the trash cans and brings them to the kitchen where they are emptied and then she takes the trash cans back to where they belong.

*Every other Tuesday we have running club and eat dinner there.  So no dishes for her to bring in for me to clean!  Yay!!!

It seriously has been the best thing to help her (and us) remember what her responsibilities are as a part of our family.


Running club week

**We also take Sundays off since they are always crazy although we still do have her brush her teeth. I know you are relieved to find that out! Ha!
