Miss Money Bags

Last week Cohen and I sat down and finally rolled all of her change that was in her piggy bank.  She had worked hard to fill it up and we had not emptied it out and rolled everything.  Easter egg hunts really helped Cohen fill hers up!   Cohen has gotten pretty bad to want everything she sees on T.V., but she had really set her mind on getting a Zhu Zhu pet.  I told her we would take her change to the bank to get dollars and I would take her to buy her very own Zhu Zhu pet.  And that is what we did.  She really enjoyed sorting all of her change into piles and the next day we went to the bank and then on to do some shopping! She bought herself a princess Zhu Zhu pet and princess carriage.  We are really hoping to make her understand how fun and important it can be to save your own money!  Having a daddy who is a financial advisor, you can imagine how he feels about it!  She is now set on buying a prince for her princess so we will see how long it takes her :)
