Working for Dimes

Olivia has been really interested in money lately! She always wants money to buy things. Grandam Doolittle gave her some money and she has spent it all on little things. The nice thing is when she buys somehting for herself she also wants to buy something for Garrett. We decided that she was old enough that she could start earning a little bit of money. We pay a dime for extra things she does around the house like making Garrett's bed, picking up toys that she didn't play with, and helping to put up the laundry or other small things. She wants to earn enough to buy a new Barbie. Plus with earning a little bit of money maybe we can teach her about saving and paying tithing. So far she has .60 cents. She knows that there are things she has to do without getting paid like cleaning her room and picking up the toys she has played with. Garrett loves to help her. We will see if this works.
