Learning about money

Lately K has been playing with coins, adding and subtracting to figure out how to get to a dollar using the different coins. She has actually been really enjoying it.

On Tuesday, K decided to take her money to the store to buy something... We headed to Target and K asked to stop in the hot spot... so bummed that ever came into existence... anyway we wandered over to the spot and she found a light up caterpillar... very exciting and an absolute must have. K picks one out for both her and C... We continue to walk around the store with all our money in our purse... really every penny and nickel. Anyway she picks up a pillow pet... how much is this $13. her response "why, it is so small and should only be  $1" We continue on to buy goggles. K "How much are these?" I respond by saying they are 9. Her response "they should be $2" and on it went throughout the store.

When we got to the checkout I offered to pay for C's caterpillar. I told her I thought it was nice she was willing to buy for her sister, but that I was ok to pay. She refused got out her $2 and paid... very cute...
