Hunter's Jobs



Getting Hunter to get ready in the morning has been a little difficult and time consuming. Once I go back to work in October, I want the mornings to go as smoothly as possible so I came up with "Hunter's Job Chart". He has 5 jobs in the morning and 5 jobs in the evening before bed. He can distinguish the jobs (morning vs. night) by the background of each card. The morning jobs have a background of yellow and the evening jobs have a background of blue. As he completes each job, which is represented by a picture, he moves it to the "Things That Are Done" row. Once he is finished with all of his jobs he gets a sticker for each on his sticker chart located at the bottom. So far it has gone great. We are rewarding him with stickers and 5 coins to put in his Froggy Bank, that was a gift from Great Aunt Sally and Great Uncle George. Once the excitement wears off we will be doing something different for his reward, but for now it is working. I had a lot of fun putting this together and explaining it to him. He is growing up so fast. I can't believe that he is almost 4 and will be going to PreSchool with me at Sabal Palm next year (2011). Time flies!
