My baby got employee of the month at the restaurant where he works. Not bad for a 14 year old! He is getting more hours than many of the "full-time" adults and they often call him in when they are busy. He has never been a scholar. Homework has always been a battle so I have let up on what I see as a losing battle. He might as well earn some money. If he can keep this up until he graduates he will have a minimum of $8000 towards college or a car. We are getting his first GIC this week. There's not much else you can do with a minor's money. (Or is there?)
5 hours later - Connor just got home from work with his stash. He got a hoodie, mitts, a t-shirt and 2 tickets to a local hockey game, 2 bags of microwave popcorn and 2 free movie coupons and ... best of all - the employee of the month parking space. Too bad he can't drive for 2 more years.
Disclaimer - this is not meant to belittle the achievements of my older children in any way. I will be blogging less about them as Connor is the only one left at home. Caitlin has her own blog anyway. Alec would rather I don't talk about him (but occasionally I just can't help myself) and Tori doesn't keep us informed of what is going on in her life.

Book larnin' isn't everything. Sounds like he's doing just great despite the schoolwork.
