the magic box

On Friday, Weston needed a little extra somethin' to get him through the morning and ready for school.  I asked him if he would like a list of the things he needed to do.  He could carry it around with him and check off each item as he accomplished it.  He liked the idea.  I (happily) noticed how quickly his demeanor changed from unmotivated to excited as he watched me make the list.

I was so glad to see him checking things off his list and I was even more glad that I didn't have to remind (nag?) him to do them.

Just as Weston was finishing breakfast I noticed something extra he had added to the bottom of the list.

How could I resist that?  He even drew the little television beside it!

All I can say is that he is good, real good.

    That is adorable that he added the TV. Hilarious. My sister took a picture of her son doing the various activies and printed a small version of them all on a sheet of paper, then laminated it. It's called his responsibility chart.
