21/365 - Saving

Sunday, January 25, 2009

21 dated

Both Noah and Cooper have always loved having a pile of change to save for extra spending money when there isn't any allowance, or they want something a little more expensive than the allowance will cover.  However, money is starting to take on a whole new meaning for Cooper since he has started learning the names and values of the coins at school.  Both boys were going through their stash today and Noah was helping Cooper count his change when he decided to go get his old Leap Frog counting bank to show to Cooper.  They worked together, putting all of Cooper's change into the bank and watching the savings total get higher and higher.  At the end, Cooper had $2.24.  Noah decided that since he doesn't really use this bank anymore that he would pass it on to Cooper and they set a savings goal of $5.  Now Cooper is looking for loose change everywhere.

  1. Fabulous shot! I just love the colors. I've never seen one of these banks before but I think I may have to find one. My youngest son is learning to count money in school right now too.
