George Washington

Last night before bed we let Nolan take out some money from his piggy bank for the first time.  There's a book fair at school and I'm taking him to it tomorrow morning.  Adam was helping the boys sort through the money and was teaching them about the bills and coins.  I heard him ask Nolan if he knew what president's picture was on the dollar bill.  I was shocked to hear him say "George Washington".  He must have picked that up at school when they talked about President's Day!

It was fun to watch Nolan look through all the books to decide what he wanted to buy. He brought $10 with him and studied each section of books very carefully.  He ultimately decided that a Planes book with 3D glasses was his book of choice. He also bought a pen with a football attached to a string.  He thought it was so cool because there is a button to push and the football gets "throw" in the air.  He came home with $1.02 in his pocket.  So far he's read the book once, misplaced the 3D glasses and completely lost the football pen.  We had a little talk about responsibility!
