Lately I have been sooo worn out with everything going on that I have been trying to bribe Ella to help me around the house. I told her that if she picked up her toys and helped Mommy during the day, I would give her a quarter every night and she could buy a treat at the end of the week with the money she earns. The first day she did really good and was my big helper. Yesterday, I guess she decided it was too much so she found our extra change bowl in our room and took all the money out of it and put it in her sheep bank. The lesson learned is bribery doesn't work. At least not for my child.
