4 Year Old for Hire

During a fit of rage a couple of weeks ago, Jack accidentally broke Grandma JoJo's new bathroom blinds (something to do with not wanting to take a bath...can't remember, or perhaps I've blocked it out).  Sooo anyway, Mom & Dad told him he'd have to do some chores to pay the $35 fix it cost.  Jack actually thinks chores are pretty fun now, and I suppose I can see why with the cool ones he got to do.

He & Dad climbed up on the roof to clean out the rain gutters last weekend - Jack even got to try out the blower:

And he also helped Grandma plant a bush in the backyard:

And of course there were other less exotic chores, like taking Halle's dirty diapers to the garbage, but I think he even liked that one.  They're just so eager to help at this age!  So I'm not sure if these jobs were really a punishment, but they did help him to learn about responsibility for his actions.  You're a great helper, Jackey Boy!
