Earning Her Keep

Well, B has been running low on money lately. (Haven't we all?) So we told her we would pay her some big bucks for taking over my chores. She happily agreed as she loves to "help" do them anyhow.

She started by cooking us a delicious breakfast . . . as soon as she could figure out where that dang "whisk" thing was.


Afterwards, she realized that she had a whole sink of dishes to do!! But, not to be dismayed. This, she realized, was one of her favorite tasks! (to this day big tears fill her eyes when we deny her request to do the dishes).


Especially when it came to turning off and on the water. REeeACH!


And last, but definitely not least, she volunteered to babysit her little friend J for some extra dough. He is her favorite "baby" to take care of. Here she cozied right up to him and tried to amuse him with a funny finger-in-mouth sound . . . definitely NOT amused. :)

In the end, we thought she had earned her keep pretty well for that day. But there's always tomorrow. :)
