Just to remember

Well, I thought I was going to catch up on the blog...we worked out a few gliches thanks to Erin, so I am trying to figure out where to start.  But tonight I just wanted to share something that I didn't want to forget.  Lately, Tanner has had a love for money.  A love to have it, a love to sort through it, and a love to spend it.  Often times when I walk in his room, his coins will be display meticulouslyin rows on his bed.  When I go to the store he tells me to wait for him while he gets his money.  He then uses Adam's old wallet and he proudly stuffs it full of his coins, and his few dollar bills.  (He LOVES dollar bills and wants to trade in quarters for bills when he has enough).  While at the store the other day Caden pointed out that he really wanted a dvd for $5.  I told him no and Tanner very sneakily comes up to me and hands me the dvd and offers to pay for it for Caden's upcoming birthday!  I wanted to melt in the sweet moment as I was taken back that this boy would want to do something nice for his brother as they most often resemble cats and dogs when together... So I told Tanner how about he pays a little and I'll pay the rest and we'll get it for Caden's birthday!  So we did! 

Last week Caden was invited to go swimming and he didn't have enough cash to pay for it.  But no worries....Tan the Banker Man was in the room and of course he told Caden he could borrow $2 from him!  He was so proud to offer his big brother a little loan!  So I'm thinking that if this boy loves money so much, he better start his own lawn mowing business soon!!
