Paid jobs: monthly billing

July 13th, 2015 by Busy Mommy

One job that we are paying Nolan to help with is the monthly billing – stuffing envelopes ain’t no joke when ur 5.

This is his first time to do some of it on his own and get paid for it – 7 whole dollars.

Pretty soon he will get to open his first bank account – they allow kids to have a savings under their name with parents name on account with $25 to open with no maintenance fees.

He totally looks mature enough for that right?? 😉

Learning to study and think

July 13th, 2015 by Busy Mommy

My current habit with Nolan is to study one paragraph for some of the material for each meeting together – so one paragraph from watchtower and one paragraph from Gods love book. We discuss it and often have him pretend I don’t know anything after and have him teach it back to me.

Soccer – Or Maybe Un-Soccer

July 13th, 2015 by Busy Mommy

I guess this isn’t really soccer because we’re not actually playing any sort of game with rules- but we ARE using a soccer ball, so hey.

We’ve been making it a more frequent thing to head over to the local school for just 20-30 minutes, right before dusk or so when the temperatures are cooling off, to kick a soccer ball around so Nolan can sweat and get some activity. I call it good when his scalp feels wet. 🙂 He loves to run after the ball and kick it and it’s a nice long field of grass for doing it in.
