We walked to the thrift store yesterday and we hit the jackpot! Ryan found all of these for Gavin and they were only $1.20 each. He is loving them! We played don't break the ice for over an hour last night!
Gavin really wants the baby einstein rocketship from Target. It is really cute, but it costs $39.99. Not something I am prepared to spend on a toy that he may or may not play with. However, he talks about it all the time and will not forget about it. So, I made a chart for him to earn it. He is very excited about it and is busy doing "jobbers" for mamma to earn money for it. Here is a picture of our chart with Gavin's first dollar in it!

what a great idea with that chart. He will definitely have to stay at if for a while before he gets his toy - that will certainly prove his dedication :o) and teach him some great lessons in the mean time!
Fun idea - you'll have to keep us up to date if it works :)
Wow, what a great idea! What kinds of jobs does he do for you?
I LOVE your rocket chart! It looks great and seeing those dollars fill the slots should be great motivation for him to keep working! You're teaching him an important lesson, not to mention patience and getting a little help in the meantime! Sounds like a win-win! :)
