Making a list and checking it twice…

I’ve been planning to make a checklist for Jia for the longest time. I got the idea from Rowie (of PinoyBaby) in N@W. I tried it once (with a handwritten checklist) and Jia loved it! So it’s been on my to-do list for the longest time. Last week, during our interview (yes, J and I were the ones who were interviewed) by the teacher in Jia’s school, she  gave me a list of things I should ask Jia to do around the house. It fit perfectly with my plan of asking her to CONSISTENTLY help around the house so I prioritized making the checklist.

She was with me while I was doing the layout and she was really excited. She was the one who chose the clip arts! I asked her if she wanted check marks for the check boxes or smiley faces and she opted for a girl smiley face. Hahaha! Ang arte ng anak ko!

I posted the list on the ref door and this morning, Jia had so much fun ticking off her tasks. It worked so well! In fact, she wanted to complete the list so much that she refused to eat lunch because she said it was not in the list yet. LOL! She said she had to help Ate May first with a household chore before she can eat. So while her yaya was eating lunch, she was waiting for her to finish eating so they can start on a household chore. Alila ang peg ng anak ko! Hahaha!

And yes, I know “wiwi” is not an english word. LOL!

So tomorrow, I will be making another list for her and I will make sure “Eat lunch” is there! LOL!
