Clara and Greta did some trading this week. The first trade was Greta gets 2 of Clara Zhu-zhu pets and a piece of gum for $8.00(all of her cash). The deal was sealed once Greta ate the gum. When I heard of this I decided it was unfair, but Greta had eaten the gum! I made Clara give back half the money. Clara was so upset, now how was she going to save money?
The second trade happened when Greta came home from school with glitter flower shaped silly bands which Clara wanted bad. There were 12 and I made it clear that I approved all trades in the house. Clara ended up with 5 of the bands and she gave Greta 3 of her bands and 4 stickers on a behavior chart which means that they could have a sister sleep over- stay up late, eat popcorn and share a bed. They were both happy with this. Seems to me that Clara managed to get the better deal, but hey she is the big sister. Mike and I thought it was sweet that they wanted to play together, but we felt like Clara might not be authorized to give that kind of reward, behavior stickers from your sister? They love to play school, but I didn't realize that Greta had a behavior chart even when they weren't playing. You can bet that Clara doesn't have one monitored by Greta. They play very well and together and I am so glad they are friends.
PS Greta just ran in from the backyard scared because Clara told her 2 wasps were chasing her:)

That's funny. Jon and I traded some but mostly I got paid by Mike and Ginger for doing their chores. Mike paid me $10 once to sweep the kitchen floor for him so he could leave. I always had plenty of cash on hand between the two of them.
