allowance

bayli is starting to learn about money.
all that you can do with money.
as well as the different values.

jed and i had both given her a big explanation on the different kinds that can make up a dollar.
we each went into description showing her that 4 quarters are the same as a dollar, as well as 10 dimes, 20 nickels, and 100 pennies.
we thought she was getting it.

after jed had given her some money that she had earned, she began counting to see if she had earned enough for that special item she has been saving for.

of course she started by counting each coin as one rather than their respective value.
totally understandable she is still learning.

so we repeat the process of showing her the value of a dollar in relation to her other coins.

after the lesson was taught, bayli approaches jed and says,
"thanks for giving me some cents!"

we had to restrain our laughter. funny girl.
