So, I usually help Rachel make her bed every morning. It's a double, and we just started that tradition when we moved back home. Last week it dawned on me that Rachel is perfectly capable of doing this on her own. For some reason, I'm still not sure why, I told her I would pay her a nickel every time she made her bed on her own. I probably could have just told her to make her bed on her own. Oh well, this will be a good opportunity for her to earn some money, start paying tithing, etc...
Anyhow, so the past couple of mornings she's made her bed before she's even wandered into our room to greet us for the day. This morning she even made my bed and said, "Mom, you owe me 2 nickels today!" I'm sure if she could make Audrey's bed she'd do that as well.... Before we know it she'll be buying herself a treat or little trinket at the store. I guess I need to head to the bank and get a few rolls of nickels... I'm glad I haven't offered to pay her when she needs to clean up her toys! :)

Be glad she is satisfied with a nickel. One day it will be a dollar, then 5 and before you know it 20!!! :)
