Here Mommy!

Today my oldest, Robby decides that it would be fun to play on daddy's PlayStation 3. This is nothing new or exciting. It's actually a daily routine, he can play almost any Lego game better than I and he loves Little Big Planet. What happen today though just got us both off guard. He was playing around while the wife and I tried to sleep in. He started browsing through the PlayStation's store, a great perk for finding movies or some of the old PlayStation and PlayStation 2 games. Unfortunately they never have the real good stuff that I would actually want to download.

So today he is browsing around and decides to download a game. Unfortunately Amanda had used her card recently to buy me the add on for Call of Duty. So when he downloaded the game it automatically deducted from her account. It was only $21 but needless to say she was pretty mad. Oddly enough it wasn't at him!! She was mad at me! Go figure, hehehe. Well she made me password protect the ordering on PlayStation network so he couldn't do it again. Then I sat down and explained what Robby had done. We have recently started to learn about the concept of money by the way. So He comes out of his room and goes over to Amanda and the first thing out of his mouth surprised us both. "Mommy, I am sorry. I have money in my piggy bank."

I Just burst into laughter I could not help it, Amanda's face just dropped I thought she might cry. When a 4 year old child can walk up with such sincerity and offer all his savings to his parents for his mistake it literally just hits you right in the chest. I love my little boy no matter how much of Mommy's money he spends! Besides I got a new race car game out of it!
