Growing up we never received an allowance for doing chores around the house. I understand my parents reasoning for not paying us....besides that fact that the bills needed to be paid over us getting an allowance. My parents wanted us to feel like a part of the family by contributing in some way. My dad worked, my mom stayed at home with us (which is harder work than she got credit for) and my brother and I took care of a few chores. Yes, we hated them and Yes, we felt like we deserved to be paid for them but I think that what my parents did was right. Our payment was more freedom. If we didn't do them (or did them with a bad attitude) freedom was taken away. Abbie will receive the same "payment" that I did. She will know that there are certain chores that are her responsibility and that by her doing her chores, she is a contributing part of our little family. Right now, her chore is to help feed Penny. I asked her to help me one day and ever since then it is a part of our morning routine.
She didn't want to close the door so there are some tears!
She is also obsessed with the Vacuum. She LOVES to touch it and kiss it. I got her a little dirt devil at a garage sale for a dollar and she will push it around all day. Hopefully this will last until she can really vacuum.
Here is a little funny video of Abbie and the Vacuum
P.s. she didn't mind the vacuum sucking on her face, as you can tell.

Cute!! She'll be vacuuming before you know it. Luke loves to vacuum...that's his job at church when MOMS group is over. Too bad as soon as he's old enough to do it all on his own, he'll be over it. =)
Emily also loves the vaccuum. She has her own baby Dyson so she doesn't destroy mommy's Dyson!
They are NEVER Too young! And that couch is so cute--WHO gave it to you!?!?!?!
