Toy Sale

Owen has recently been wanting toys, a new one every day it seems. A few weeks ago he was stuck on getting two new airplanes that are in a show that he likes to watch. We had a talk about money and working to earn and save for special things. I often tell him, when he wishes for something, to ask for it for his birthday or Christmas. He has come to notice that his birthday was last month and Christmas is a long way out. I told him that he he really wanted this toy he would have to save up his money. He spent an afternoon counting the change in his piggy bank to learn that he still needed some to get his planes. We decided to do a toy sale ( conveniently the same day as our neighborhood garage sale) to raise some funds.











He earned about $7 and lost interest in about 1 1/2 hours (so did Brett and I). Hopefully it was a start to a little lesson in life.

Oh and by the way...he has also moved on to dreaming of a different toy.
