Allowance

Sophia recently discovered her piggy bank, and has become fascinated with money and putting money in it.  We explained to her that you don't just get to have money for nothing, you have to earn it and decided to give her some chores so she could earn money on her own.  Sophia's chores each day are helping set the table, helping clear the table, bringing her backpack in after school, and cleaning up her toys.  We often have to remind her about her "job" but she is eager to help so she can get her allowance each week.  She looks forward to her Sunday pay day of .25!
