"Yes?" He asked in response to her.
(Sorry, so short..)

"Can.... Can you teach me how to read?" She asked quickly, worrying he didn't have the time to teach her.

((It's ok, sometimes it unavoidable.))

He thought about it a second, then nodded."I can do that." He said."How about I write down a schedule for you seeing as though your starting to get a lot.Like between no and so time, do this then after go to the next job on the schedule, and do it until the assigned time of ending.And in between we can put a time for your reading lesson?"

"Ok!" Lacey said with an ecstatic nod, thrilled that she will be able to read soon. "Don't worry, I like doing work." She added with a smile, crossing her legs under her butt.

He got a piece of paper and a pencil and asked "What time do you usually wake up in the morning?" He asked.

"Um... About 8 or 9." She said, looking at the piece of paper.

"Alright" he began to write down words."To read this schedule, will be the first thing I'll teach you to read so don't worry.." he said as he wrote.
So far it read
•Between 8 or 9AM until 10:03- wake up, get dressed, brush hair, and do personal things.(free time basically)
•10:04 until 10:55 - Eat breakfast, and put dishes into sink.
•10:56 until 11:49 - organize any object that needs to be organized, if nothing needs to be organized, you can either go play, or help Kyrie.
•11:50 until 11:59 - anything
•12:00 until 12:35 - lunch
•12:36 until 1:34 - care to the plants in the garden out back.Water them and so forth.
•1:35 until 4:45 - reading lesson.
•4:46 until 5:04 - it paused there.Even when he split the times apart really fairly for the kid, he still had hours left with nothing for her to do.
( if I wasent fair with the schedule I can change it)

(Looks perfect so far)
"Ok." Lacey said watching him write the schedule, only recognizing the numbers. She waited patiently and watched him pause at 5:04 "How about...... taking out recyclables and cleaning my room?" She asked, noticing he didn't know what to put for the next couple hours.

(Alright then)
"We could split that into two different things if you want.." he said.

"Ok." She said with a smile, glad she could help some. "On certain days can I help get groceries and bring them inside?" She asked.

"That could work...but we'd have to ask Kyrie on that, since she goes and does the grocery shopping." He said.He filled in a few of the missing times.
5:04 until 6:23 - clean room if needed.
6:24 until 6:32 - take out recyclable stuff- it stopped again."Alright, let's stop there for now.At least until 1.You've figured out if the schedule so far works for you, and 2.If Kyrie will allow you some days to go get groceries with her." He paused a second."Speaking of groceries, I believe Kyrie had planned to get some today to..I just don't know what time.It varies."

(I'll reply tomorrow. My mom caught me playing my laptop at 11:30 and it's too risky to try to play it any longer tonight.)

(Okay)

"I can go find her and ask her what time she was going to get groceries and If I can come." Lacey said happily. After all, she was going to learn to read, have chores that she actually doesn't mind doing, and a new family that actually likes her.

Josh looked at a clock that was hanging on the wall.10:59. He looked back at Lacey. "Alright, you can go ask her now.." he said.

"Okie dokie!" Lacey said jumping out of the chair and racing out of the room, no clue as to where Kyrie would be. She ran down the hallway towards the kitchen first, hoping that Kyrie would still be doing dishes.

Josh smiled slightly once Lacey was gone.Such a cheerful little girl he thought.

Kyrie had just finished the dishes, just as Lacey came in.

"Kyrie Kyrie!!" Lacey called, slowing down a bit so she wouldn't crash into anything or anyone. "Can I help you with the groceries what you go and get them?" She asked a little out of breath.

Kyrie turned around hearing Lacey calling her name.Before she could even as what, Last had asked her question.Kyrie responded with "sure"

"Okie dokie. When are you panning on going" She asked bouncing on her heels.
