The Start of Something Fabulous

Our adventure in family life continues. The kids are getting adjusted to school. AnnaSophia has had a couple "incidences" that have turned out to be good life lessons. Abby has good days and bad days as usual. Sometimes she is happy as can be to head off the school and other mornings she will come up with whatever she can to get out of it. 

In my quest to simplify life and get my kids more involved around our house, I purchased the Accountable Kids program. After watching the instructional DVD and reading the beginning of the book we put it into action. I knew AnnaSophia would catch on but I wasn't so sure about Abigail. 

We are only in week two, but I am so excited about how it is going. Both girls know what the core chores are and they do them. Abigail has surprised me in that she goes right to the board looks at what needs to be done and does it. She is extremely motivated by her "tickets". Yesterday she actually helped me do the laundry so she could earn more. I will be posting a full review once we delve more into the program and iron out some of the kinks. But I am very excited about the progress so far. 

Updates to come!!
