In February Nadia saw an Elsa Lego set at Walmart and decided she wanted to save up enough money to buy it. I was dubious that she could accomplish this task because including tax it cost $42.40. In the past she had never accumulated anywhere near that amount of money. She worked very hard over the past two months to earn the money. Almost every week she cleaned the bathrooms and did other extra chores. Most of the time she was earning the money one dollar at a time. The two exceptions would be that I gave her $7 for stopping sucking her thumb at night, and I also gave her $7 birthday money two months early. I did that because I was so proud of how hard she was working toward her goal. This morning she earned the final dollar by helping me clean the three bathrooms, and after she finished her schoolwork I let her open the box of Legos. She was SO excited. She put together about 2/3 of the castle today. I'll take more pictures tomorrow of the finished project. While she was at gymnastics Oliver smashed it on the ground (on purpose), but I rebuilt it before she came home. Nadia did a great job with following the instructions to build the project!
