I'm rich!

For my birthday, Great Grandma gave me a check for $25! Mommy took me to the bank so I could cash it myself. I got to hand it to the teller, and then she counted back to me 25 one dollar bills. I put them in my zipper purse so I could carry them home safely. I was almost as excited about the money as I was about the sucker that they gave me at the bank!
When we got home, I had to re-count my dollar bills. I can count to 10 very well, but after that it is a bit shakey, so there were some repeated numbers in there. But none the less, I had fun counting my money. Then I took each bill and crumpled it up and put it in my money jar. Now with my birthday money combined with my commision money (the money I get paid for doing work) I have saved over $30!! Mommy says we are going to split it into three envelopes, one for saving, one for spending (I like that one), and one for tithing/giving. Sounds like managing money is a big responsibility, but I am learning.
