The last time Grandpa was here, he and William dumped out and counted all the money in Williams piggy bank. There was over $150 in there! So, last Wednesday I took William to the bank to open his very own bank account. He felt so big sitting with the banker, he even got to sign the signature pad (he helped me sign my name). Then he waited in line and gave the teller his very first deposit. As we were sitting with the banker, William told me he needed a wallet like Mommy and Daddy. So when we left the bank we walked over to rite aid and found him his very own wallet. Then he said he needed a card in it. We put the banker's card who helped him in his wallet and the receipt of his first deposit in there too.
He has not put that wallet down very many times since we bought it. The other day he said, "Mom, I got sixty bucks in my wallet". I asked him what he was going to buy with that sixty bucks.?!? "I'm going to buy diapers Mom." haha. Probably because I have been trying to get him to wear underwear lately :) Two and a half, in diapers with a bank account. Awesome.
That is so funny... and so cute. I would have love to have seen that. I love that you have a blog for this reason.... to hear the little stories like this. I love it... makes me feel like I am not missing out as much.
ReplyDeleteOh...that IS so cute. I can't wait for William and Grant to play. Grant is way excited for it. By the way, I won't be here in Utah until the last day of July. :( You'll have to stay at least 2 weeks for us to see each other. Maybe you could stay 3 weeks. :) Oh, and bring the boy's bathing suits. I know of a cute park that has a fun water part to play in that's free.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great first in every little boys life. I have two and I remember there first wallet. Hope you have many more stories like this!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious! And so wonderful that he is already learning about money and saving. I bet the banker thought it was so adorable. How did he get $150???
