Well, it's just not going to happen. Alexander was given a list of chores to do every week, ranging from doing dishes or cleaning the living room to cleaning out the van and mowing the front yard (it's a small yard). He was ok the first few days, but has started whining about how hard it is and not doing the job, so it's out... Bummer, because I really wanted to get him one too. His adult cousin Tim races dirt bikes and had promised to teach him how to ride one. It would have been a great experience.
Does anyone have any suggestions where this might go from here? I really want him to have to work for this and understand some things have to be earned in life. Tim suggested we take him out and let him ride one a couple of times to get him hooked. So far he's taken Alexander for a couple of rides, and we watched him race, but that's it.
