3 Banks

We're trying to teach Avery the value of money early (that's what you get when your Dad's an accountant). So we made Avery 3 banks (Savings/School, Spending, and Tithing). Everyday she earns 5 cents for every diaper she takes outside and puts in the trash...this probably adds up to a whole $1.50 a week or so. This all started when she saw a My Little Pony that she really wanted at the Dollar Store. And since I'd already gotten her the purple one (now she wanted the BLUE one), we thought she should earn it. So she worked for a week and earned it. She was SO HAPPY with that pony and so excited when she got to pay for it with her money. Greg took her to the store on Saturday and she got to hand her money to the cashier and everything.

Now she's working on saving up for the Aladdin, Jasamine, and Magic Carpet Little People set she saw in Target. (It's a lot more expensive than a dollar so its going to take some time, but she's just as diligent.) :)
