One Rich Kid...

We opened a savings account for Taylor this week since her piggy bank was about to explode. She LOVES putting money in her piggy bank! All her birthday money, dollars that she earns helping around the house or the money we find on the ground goes straight to the pig! We even dared her once to eat a bite of an avocado and if she did she could have a whole dollar. We asked her what she wanted to do with her prize money and she instantly said, "Put it in my piggy bank!" I'm glad that she wants to save her money because she does NOT get that from her mother.

We figured she had enough to open her own savings account (min $25) so we counted it this week and realized she had almost $50. She was good to go with opening her own account. Before we headed to the bank we stopped by Ross and I let Taylor buy this Strawberry Shortcake toy with her own money that she has really been wanting. She was SO excited as she handled the entire purchase from giving her money to the cashier to receiving her change and receipt. I enjoyed watching Taylor's face as she accomplished something new. You could tell she felt so important and grown up!

Taylor's first deposit to the bank!

Taylor's new toy that she bought all by herself!
