"I'm so happy. I got the guy I wanted!!"

Previously in the Harvey Household we have put all of James' birthday money into savings. This year he saw a "robot" he really wanted in a magazine mailer, so we decided he could use his birthday money to buy it (good job Fisher Price advertising department!).

First we taught him the law of tithing and then we took him to Walmart (where else) to make his first real purchase. James has officially joined the American economy...well I guess savings does count...

He looked through all of the Planet Heroes that he wanted. After much deliberation (and a no, you cannot buy the bad guy..."but he's the coolest!") James settled on Ace. (He did not cost $29.99, we all know everything is cheaper at Walmart). He proudly walked up to the cashier, stood in line, handed over his toy and then his money (the kid knows how this works). He carried Ace and his receipt without even complaining it was too heavy.

Thanks Great Grandparents for this fun experience!!
