DJ

So for those who don't know, Cruz has an obsession with Disney's Cars the movie and the actual little replica cars as well. For Christmas, Santa brought him 4 shiny new Cars. The next day, he decided he wanted one more car, "DJ", from Santa (yeah right!!). After a talk about how Santa already came and only comes once a year, Cam and I decided to take advantage of this and have Cruz earn the money for DJ. Every time Cruz helped around the house he earned a quarter towards his car. To illustrate how many quarters he needed, Cam crafted up this genius paper.

I did not know how much a 3 yr old could help around the house before this. Our favorite chore to do together was unload the dishwasher. A little scary at first, considering all the breakables but he got the hang of it.

I set the silver ware tray down on the dishwasher and he actually liked separating forks, knives, and spoons.

Next he takes out the bowls and stacks them by size. Then gives them to me. Same with plates. Wow.


Needless to say, after he earned all his quarters, DJ found a new home.
