Bill me later...

This morning we had a LOT of chores to do. Rebecca is occasionally helpful, Andrew often. Yesterday was NOT a good day for him obedience-wise so I was a little leary of asking for so much help today. In a bit of genius I asked him if he wanted to play "butler" for me . . . & he agreed! We clipped on his tie, put on his Church shoes, & set him to work. When we were done, I asked him to sit down & write a list of all that he helped me with . . . so I could pay the butler. Here's his list below. Can you translate? I'll put it in the comments. My favorite part is the total: 5 pennies. "I'm too tired to write the word pennies, so I'll just draw one with Abraham on it."

  2. Wow! I may have to try that idea out, and all for 5 pennies too!

  3. He is so good. At helping and writing.
    (Just curious - have you worked with him a lot on reading/writing - or did he pick it up on his own? I meant to start "Teach your child to read in 100 lessons" this summer after W asked me to teach him to read but we didn't get any of it accomplished. ah, well. I know he's fine. I'm just super impressed with Andrew's phonetic spelling - he's going to be bored at kindergarten next year!)
