A New Bike

So Trae has been wanting things every time we go to the store. So I thought it would be a good idea that he would have to save his money for the things he wants. So we went to Michaels a few weeks back and got him a piggy bank that he could paint. He loved it.

It is a multi colored piggy bank. A Trae original. He was very proud of the job he did he showed everyone who came over to the house.

Putting his money that he had in a bowl before the piggy bank.
Getting his dollars in his pocket to go to the store.
Testing out his bank in line. Loving it!!
Paying the lady. He ended up saving $20 more than half the bike pretty good job. And she was great she kept telling him you have so much money and just talking to him the whole time. It was so fun to watch. Normally he likes it when they give you money back but it didn't even bother him that he didn't get any back.
Riding in the cart with his bike to the car.
Testing it out right when he got home. He has a hard time pedalling I like his legs are not quite strong enough or he just hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. Either way he loves it and you get a workout helping him ride.

Good Job Trae. We love you!! Your new bike is awesome.

Way to go mom. You are teaching him such great things already. I remember the first time we emptied the piggy bank at a store and the people behind us died. I was so mad I wanted to tell them "way to ruin the experience"! It's a little emberassing, but so worth it. We Love your new bike Trae!
