Phone Numbers

Okay, so my girls do not know our phone number. One of the issues is that we do not have a house phone so they must learn 10 digits instead of 7. Scott and I each have our own cell phones so that makes 20 digits. So, it has been bothering me that they don't know either one of our numbers. I made a deal with them. If they could learn to say it, then they could call it. Whoa!! What a motivator! They didn't have school today, Kate has learned my cell phone number, and they have had a blast. Kate uses Daddy's phone to call my phone...and then they play. Anna is beginning to master my number and Kate is working on Daddy's number. They get a $1.00 coupon (I write $1 on a sticky note) per day if they can tell me the number up to 3 days. It has been so much fun to watch them master this skill. Our address is next! They got some Easter money today in the mail so we counted how much money was in their banks. $50+! Wow! I was amazed! They are saving their money for an American Girl Doll!
