I did a new one this year, bec...What a great post!<br /><br />I did a new one this year, because even though B-Boy is only 14 months old, I think it is important that he see giving early.<br /><br />We set a budget for the Salvation Army this year. We got cash, and put it in two envelopes... one for each car. Every time we went to a store that had someone ringing a bell with the red kettle, we would remove cash from the envelope. We then slipped it in the kettle, making sure B-Boy saw it. On the 23rd, the left over cash went in the kettle. <br /><br />I am hoping that this can become a tradition that can start a dialogue when he is older like the one you had with e-Baby!Nebelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00303276989490658979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991182552788176375.post-58486619583395518952010-12-15T22:44:24.979-05:002010-12-15T22:44:24.979-05:00C and I had a similar conversation about poverty b...C and I had a similar conversation about poverty because her daycare is doing a food-and-toy drive, and I had to explain the presence of the boxes in the lobby. She kind of already had a vague concept about the idea of finances, because she often gripes about not wanting to go to school, and I remind her that Mommy and Daddy have to go to work, because that's how we get money, and we need money to pay for our house, cars, food, her toys, etc. So I think she sort of gets it, but again, she's 3. Not like she's going to be balancing a checkbook anytime soon. <br /><br />I love the idea of having a donate budget. One of our old neighbors made her kids go through all of their toys every December to pick out old things to donate to the Salvation Army. I love that idea too. It reminds the kids to be generous, plus it's like spring cleaning before all the new loot from Santa arrives!PartnerInCrimehttp://www.poobou.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991182552788176375.post-1125676588421299292010-12-15T22:30:44.811-05:002010-12-15T22:30:44.811-05:00You were the "streaker of Bay Villa Place&quo...You were the "streaker of Bay Villa Place".
