Things have been a little quiet around here the last couple of days, thankfully so. Emily got a Nintendo DS she had been saving for. She did it herself. I even made her take her little bag of savings to Target and count the money out and pay for it herself. Took a little while (lots of change) and the cashier was really patient. He knew this was a learning experience for her. It was really exciting for me. I was very proud of her as she was proud of herself too. The darn thing didn't come with even one game so I still got suckered into buying a game and those aren't cheap. She deserved it though. Felt funny, we don't really buy a lot of play stuff outside of birthdays and Christmas. Her birthday is in June so it has always just worked out that way. Every six months she gets treated like royalty. HA! Don't get me wrong she needs for nothing in between. Of course little girl's are easy anyway. A new fingernail polish, even if it came from the Dollar Tree every now and then makes her happy. No she doesn't have cell phones and expensive ipods like her peers, but she is a happy little girl.
Brooke got new pajamas...Dora, Cinderella, Cupcakes. She is sooooo cute trying to say what is on her jammies. Dora is pretty clear, but the others will need some practice. She is just as proud of her new jammies as Emily is her game.

Way to go Emily. You should be so proud of yourself. I know that you will take really good care of it. Keep up the good work.
How sweet!!! That is awesome that she saved up her OWN money!! God Bless her and you for raising such a great girl!
They are SO EXPENSIVE!! My son's XBOX 360 died and he got a new one, early birthday present, and OMG! To give that lady at Best Buy that money, thought I was going to faint!
Kudos to you for setting such a great example!
