I love Allie's excitement over her Jump Rope For Heart to raise money for the American Heart Association. She was beaming while she explained to me all about how it works and pleaded with me to put some money in her envelope. It is supposed to be a lump sum donation, but as her mother, I figured she could earn the donation. Slightly misjudging the work that jump-roping is, I told her I would give her $1 for jumping 5 minutes. Although it is hard, she is doing it without complaining. She's already up to $3 on the first day. Uh Oh.
