First Job

Kimball with his first "paycheck".

Kimball has his first job.  Our neighbor is an elderly woman who needs someone to take her trash out every day.  We volunteered and even told her she didn't have to pay us, but she did anyway.  We thought it would be a good opportunity for Kimball to learn responsibility and after listening to Elder L. Tom Perry's talk from General Conference about helping kids learn to earn and manage money, we thought the responsibility would be good for Kimball.  .  

Every morning Kimball goes to this lady's door and knocks and asks for her trash.  Then he brings it back to our apartment and then we take it out when we leave.  Kimball carries her trash to the outside door of our apartment building and then Joseph or I usually carry it to the dumpster since it is far from our building.  I'm so proud of Kimball doing this by himself.  I didn't know if he would be brave enough to knock on this lady's door by himself, but he does great!

Kimball lost his second tooth yesterday so the tooth fairy came as well.
