It all started with a Valentine's card from Nanna and PopPop that contained a one dollar bill:
Katelynn has been begging me every day since receiving that card to go to the store to spend her dollar. Today we finally made it to Target. She knows that mommy can be convinced to purchase items for her from the dollar section - I often do as a reward for simply coming to Target and behaving well. However she was much more excited about getting a toy with her own money. She agonized over the selections and tried to talk me into two items. I held firm for once, figuring this was a good time for a lesson about the finite qualities of money. She selected this cute purse - quite the girly girl selection:
When we got to the checkout, she proudly marched up to the Target employee. She excitedly handed over her money and had to be reminded give the purse first for scanning. Mommy chipped in ten cents toward sales tax. KK was excited to get her receipt and her two pennies back.
She came home and "played" with her purse all evening. She asked me to get the easter eggs down. She filled them with buttons and small paper hearts and wrote her friends' names on the outside. Then she put them in her new purse to take to preschool for delivery. She sure can be a cutie pie sometimes.
