G has been into earning money by doing extra jobs around the house lately. He's excited to be able to spend his earned money they way we wants to. I'm happy that he's learning to save toward a goal, and that it takes work to earn money. He's also starting to understand what his money is worth, and how to read price tags. It's all good!
Yesterday he surprised me when he told me that in order to collect 7 stuffed cats (he loves cats!), he'd need to buy 4 more (since he has already bought 3), and that would mean spending $20 (since they are $5 each). Seriously...how can a 5-year-old possibly be doing this?
Daddy bought him a write-on/wipe-off place mat last night with multiplication facts on it. They did a few together, and G was so excited and was actually understanding it! Then, after being tucked in for the night, he got it back out so he could do his numbers in bed. I think it's absolutely hilarious that he thinks he's getting away with something by sneaking in some bedtime multiplication by night light. LOL!

Yep, he's definitely going to be a math whiz. And that is too cute about him "sneaking" to do multiplication. :)
