Chores Calendar

A few months ago Sammy asked me while we were driving in the car if she could have a baby brother.  She begged and pleaded for another baby in our family and since I'm so quick on my feet I suggested a fish instead.  She quickly gave up on the brother and became obsessed with getting a fish.

I drew out a chores calendar and every day she brushed her teeth or helped pick up she added a sticker to the calendar.  The deal with that once she had completed the month she could get a fish.  But, before a recent work trip we were passing by the pet store and I caved.

After she filled the hand drawn calendar, I suggested we get her an actual chores calendar and we went online and picked one out.  Being the rule following, determined girl that she is, she was ecstatic about the calendar and apparently had shared with her class that it was coming and when it did, she would bring it in to class.  The days that she waited she was so worried her calendar wouldn't arrive before the weekend and she insisted the Dave send her teacher this note she wrote:

Luckily the calendar arrived later that day and I took it in for her to proudly show all her friends at school.
