I took Hannah shopping last night to get Hailey a Christmas present. When we got home she wanted to wrap the gifts herself. Looks like we forgot to put the wrapping paper away when we were done.
We went to Target and she was struggling at first to find something good enough.
I told her she could spend $30. I was quite surprised to see that she actually understood that that meant that she could either buy two things for $15 each (because mom, 15 plus 15 is 30) or 30 things for $1 or 3 things for $10 (because 10 three times is 30, duh). Once she realized she could get more things if they cost less her eyes went from the items on the shelves to the prices listed. 'Hey mom, this is $4.99- let's get this with some other stuff." 'But Hannah, not sure Hailey would really like that." "But, then I can get her lots more stuff. Let's just get it."
Target was not helping. There weren't really that many toys that Hailey would love so after 15-20 minutes in the toy section I finally convinced her we needed to go to a real toy store so off to Toys-R-Us we went.
We had much better luck there and although there were MANY things that Hannah wanted to buy she was able to settle on the two most 'perfect' items that Hailey would FREAK over. A Teen Beach movie Barbie doll that sings her favorite song 'Like Me' and new Barbie headphones. Good work Hannah!
Tonight Hannah made a sign for Hailey. Hailey was mad at us and she wanted to get away from us so she put a blanket on a nearby cardtable to make a hideaway.
This sign says- stop and think before you come in

Hannah is a girl after my own heart - clearly a math lover! It's so neat when they finally get how gift-giving works (as opposed to Violet who only wants to buy for herself)
