Life lessons

Lucia started busking after violin camp. We decided that she would donate half to the homeless shelter and keep the other half.  I let her choose if she wanted to spend her money little by little or if she wanted to save up for a big something.  She said right from the start that she wanted to save up for a special baby doll. So for 10 weeks we went to the market once or twice a week.  She finally had enough money today.  It made her day too! So many great lessons here. She got tons of practice in. She played music in front of so many people. She learned to say thank you to strangers. She learned that saving money can bring a great reward. She even learned a little bit about counting money. We are so proud of her!
