Lewis was bound and determined to save more money than Augustine ever has. That means he had to save $70 or more. He has been working all year to meet his goal. When he hit $50 he REALLY wanted a $50 Bill, so Logan took Lewis’ stash to the bank and traded it out. It proved to be a bit trickier that we anticipated between covid and our bank installing automated tellers, but Daddy got his boy a $50 bill.
Lewis got this super cool bank from Grandma Kathleen for his birthday! I would’ve loved this thing as a kid. Lewis is always worried about someone stealing his money...no, not a robber, just a brother or his super untrustworthy parents, apparently...so he was very happy to learn that this bank has a PIN number and it locks. You’ll also notice the heightened security that guards his account card.
Well this past weekend he decided that he had blown Augustine’s record to smitharines by saving $90, and it was time to celebrate. He saved his money for Legos of course, so off we went. He did a really good job thinking through his decision, but also deciding in a timely manner. I was very impressed! He chose a set, then we went about my shopping, and then we went back to the LEGO aisle to think it through one more time before purchasing.
Then he got to use his $50 and a few others. :)
It took him about 5 hours to build because he builds slowly and enjoys the process. It about drives his big brother to drink.
There were 8 bags and a thick directions booklet.
We made him his first LEGO building area in his room!
Good job Lewis!
