So lately we have been thinking of ways Thiago (our four year old) can earn some money aside from doing his chores. He is OBSESSED with money and saving it. We are also trying to teach him that he has to work for the things he wants, they won't just be handed to him. We have decided to start collecting alluminum cans. In this we are teaching him to recycle and save the earth and also that hard work receives a reward. On Sundays, when it's warm, we have been going out to the fields on the outskirts of town and picking up cans that people throw out the window. Thiago LOVES this. It's like a little treasure hunt for him. He loves spotting them, running to get them and then smashing them under the tire of the car. He's so cute! We have started doing this as a family thing and we really enjoy it. Anyway, if any of you have aluminum cans lying around I am sure Thiago would LOVE to have them. He enjoys dumping them into the recycling belt so the more cans, the more enjoyment and money for his money jar!

This is so cute, & such a good idea -- I don't drink soda, so we don't have any, but I'll see if my dad will save his & get them to you! :)
