This past week Ethan wanted to buy himself some Star Wars cards so we told him that he had to use his money from his piggy bank - he was fine with that. Aiden wanted to join in and took all of his money out - they had 15 and 14 dollars respectively. Rich took them out Thurs. night to look for cards for Ethan and something for Aiden but they came home without anything. They were discouraged but we told them that we would take them out this weekend to Toy Traders. Rich took them there today - once they arrived he phoned me to ask how much money Aiden should have - I said about 14 or 15 dollars - Rich said - Oh - he has about 2. I said oops he forgot his five dollar bill at home but we couldn't figure out what he did with the rest of his money. You see Aiden is very particular about money - if anything is left out anywhere he will find it and claim it for himself. Once claimed he will put it into his piggy bank for safe keeping b/c he wants to be rich - so b/c he is pretty careful with each penny we couldn't figure out where it went. We could have taught him a lesson and said sorry you can't buy your toy b/c you lost your money but we quickly decided on the phone that he could still buy something and we'ld just find the money. We found it alright. When Rich came home I asked him if Aiden knew where the rest of his money went - he sure did. The little guy, who wants to be rich, gave the missing money to Christian a couple of days ago and put it into Christian's piggy bank. What a big brother!!
He then came up to me tonite and asked if he could buy a new webkinz tomorrow. I said nope b/c he had bought a train today. He looked at me and said "oh, so if I spend my money on something I can't buy anything else". I said yep. Instead of being disappointed he declared that he was going to look for money all night so that tomorrow he could buy a webkinz. If he does find 16 dollars lying around his room tonite I'm going to raid it tomorrow!
