Amelia Cashes In

Back in July Amelia started to be curious about money. We explained the basics to her and gave her some "chores" she could do to earn some of her very own money. Whenever she feels like working, she can get the mail/paper or help water the flowers to earn a bit of spare change. For a while, she was really in to it and reliably did her chores day after day. By August she saved up $10, so we took her to the toy store to buy a new Thomas train. She had her heart set on Edward (turns out that's actually a $20 train so Dad kicked in some matching funds). Here she is making her very first purchase!
