Patiently, Prudently....

It's been fun watching Reese and his cute personality develop over the past few years. We've really enjoyed having such a goal oriented person around the house. Reese loves to plan ahead, work for and save his money, then spend it on something he's really been wanting. Earlier this summer, he saved up to help pay for half of his new bike and this time he decided he really, really wanted the new Lego Harry Potter Wii game. Here he is the day he reached his goal.
From the time he decided on what he wanted, he patiently worked away at home and at Grandpa's house while on vacation to earn what was needed. The decision was also made (by him) that he wouldn't play any other video games until he was able to buy this one. Reese also likes to plan ahead so much that as soon as he had enough cash to pay his tithing on the amount he was hoping to earn, that he decided it was best to pay it in advance, that way he wouldn't have to worry about it when he reached his goal. He did his time, stuck with the goal and finally got the reward! Good Job Reesey! Keep it up and you'll go far! We're proud of you little buddy.
