Nancy,
a job is a great thing. My daughter actually started her own business at 11 (babysitting at the pool for two hour intervals) and has been doing something ever since. Summer before last she worked at the pool and nannied for three girls for a month so she could buy a laptop. She has been working at our gym two nights a week since last summer and just bought a really expensive Nikon digital camera. She puts that check in the bank and saves it for something big. Plus, it keeps her responsible I think.
Congrats to difficult child! Her right arm will get a great workout. I scooped one summer and had a powerful muscle build in my right arm!
Sharon
