Sale!

Brett's class is starting to learn about money - specifically coins. His teacher told them that their homework this weekend was to set up a store for their family and let their family shop. Brett was so excited - he couldn't wait!  First, he went around the toy room collecting various things.  Then, he cut up pieces of paper to write the price.  Finally, he stole borrowed my good tape to adhere the signs.  Then his shop was open for business!  Daddy was the first one to shop - he bought a car for 2 cents.  Brett wanted me to shop, but I was still cleaning up from dinner and washing dishes.  I had to pull a Mrs. Lyles and remind him, "Work first, then play" using the signs that she always uses.  Brett rolled his eyes at me.  I have no idea where on Earth he gets that?! 

 

 

 

In other news, Brett finally has a loose tooth.  He kept telling me last weekend that his tooth hurt, so I sort of figured it was going to be loose soon.  Truthfully, I'm glad he finally has a loose tooth.  Every time he tells me about one of his friends losing a tooth, he's sort of sad and gloomy about it.  Maybe he thinks he's missing out or something.  He wriggles it all the time, so I'm sure we'll be posting about his first lost tooth very soon!

Also, he learned how to tie his shoes completely by himself this week!!  It's a fun time being almost 6 :)
