My son Noah who is 8 yrs old has become very interested in knives, all kinds of knives, but there is one kind in particular that has really caught his attention... the Swiss Army pocket knife. My husband also has a love for knives. The other day Kendall took Noah into a knife shop and Noah saw a Swiss Army knife and wanted it more than anything! Kendall told him it's $30. He said that if he does all his chores and saved his money he could buy it. I wasn't so sure how I felt about this...but now I LOVE the idea! We do a bingo chart for chores, for every chore they do, they get to put a little star in that spot. For every bingo they get they get a bingo dollar. A bingo dollar is worth a quarter. So the last few days my son has been working hard, he spends all day cleaning and doing chores (He even does all his school work quickly). I haven't had to load or unload the dishwasher in days. He vacuums the whole house, cleans the bathroom, his bedroom is spotless, as is his sister's bedroom! He sweeps the kitchen floor, brings in the laundry, sets and clears the table before and after each meal! Life is good! This morning he got up and made scrambled eggs and toast for us, so he could put a star on the "kind deed" spot of his bingo chart! I'm trying to figure out what I can get him interested in after he saves up for this pocket knife.....maybe something less sharp!
