Milosh starts to earn money

The tooth fairy gave Milosh a dollar. He was skeptical though, he asked me multiple times if I had kept the money (his friend had seen his mom put a dollar) and if I was lying about it. But he was very happy to receive the money. He has put it in a safe place and was excited about the idea of having his own money. He kept looking at it and deciding if he should keep it folded or not, at what angle he should keep it etc etc.

I have further offered him 2$ for organizing his books and  a quarter for getting off the car and going to the library to drop off his books.
He has gotten it clarified if he gets money for being good and well behaved. I clarified - no, only for chores. For not being good, there will be other consequences. Then he asked me what consequence means. As I was explaining, he said he will ask his teacher tomorrow.

Last time he helped decide a consequence himself and agreed that it was fair.

In other related news, we came to another agreement for more harmony at home. Milosh rewards me with a sticker before going to bed if I haven't shouted at him the whole day. Earlier he was trying to fudge it and threatened to not give me a sticker if I did not give him extra tv time. But I told him sticker is only for not shouting, nothing else. I love it when he gives me options of stickers. For now this arrangement is working :)
