Cael's Chore

We were splitting up chores with the three older boys. We have six chores and they each have to pick two and then we negotiate until everyone ends with two chores. I think they then feel like they have ownership in them, and they picked them. It also helps them to learn to negotiate fairly. So, this is a process. Cael was in the room the whole time watching all this. He climbs up on Chet's lap on the bed and asks if he can have a chore. Chet tells him that his chore is to look cute. He then gives the cutest smile I have ever seen. Now when he asks what his chore is we tell him to look cute and he looks at us and smiles the same cute smile. So cute. We love our boys! Every day is something new! Something cuter! Something that reminds us why we love being parents (because sometimes we forget, or it's so loud we can't think long enough to remember)!
