For the past 3 years, Kyle and I have been doing Dave Ramsey's "Financial Peace" plan, and our hope is to teach David over the years how to save, spend, and give his money in responsible ways. For a few weeks now, David has been earning quarters for "good work" every day to place in his bank.
After a while, his change made a lot of cents (hee hee), so we went to the real bank this morning to exchange the rolled coins for bills. Then, we took a trip to Wal-Mart for a shopping spree. Our plan was to let David buy whatever he liked that fit his budget :), and David ended up choosing (on his own) a nice Hot Wheels set that included his favorite vehicles (police car, helicopter, school bus, taxi van, and fire truck) as well as Star Wars Clone Wars coloring books.
It was so cute when he pulled his money from his pocket at Checkout and handed the cashier his money!
On a random note, David's added a few more phrases to his vocabulary arsenal. This week he's started telling toys and the dogs to go to "Time Out, 2 minutes; no hitting." He's also saying, "Come on" and counting to ten (with the occasional fast-forwarding through numbers.)Much love,
E
