Our Little Star-Catcher – Clare

When you get a star, I’ll give you a prize for it.

That’s pretty much what I remember saying when I found out that my niece was attending summer school to get ready to enter the Nursery level this coming school year.

I completely forgot all about it until this evening, when she showed me how she perfectly wrote down the capital letter T according to her teacher’s dotted lines and got a star for it. Naturally, she asked what her prize was, to which I replied with another question:

What prize do you want?

The reply?

Jollibee!!!

I told her I’d take her to Jollibee after she gets two more stars (a little incentive to try to do more on my part) but for now, I’m thinking of getting her something else for her good work. I’m thinking it should be something simple…so that the whole star thing won’t be too much for the material aspect of my little prize-giving project.

Any suggestions?
