Update on "Managing God's Money"

Update from earlier this morning - Benjamin wants ALL the money in HIS bank and will throw SCREAMING fits because he wants to keep it all himself. That just proves to me that teaching him how to manage God's money is EXACTLY what we need to be doing right now!

Also, our household (a.k.a. Benjamin) is learning the fruit of the spirit, kindness, this week. So far he's displayed kindness by actually sharing his sucker with Savannah. I was shocked at that one because he did that one all by himself. Secondly, he's been asking for things very sweetly with lots of please and thank you's. Normally we have to remind him to say "please" and "thank you". But knowing he's going to get some pennies in his bank has changed his tune. All I have to say is, Tina, you're brilliant! (Tina is the one who came up with this idea).

P.S. As I'm sitting here watching Jimmy Neutron with Benjamin right before he's off to bed for prayers, singing, and talking about our day tomorrow, I just wanted to make a note for David and me later....he's OBSESSED with robots, the Robot Backyardigans, and Jimmy Neutron at this stage. He's definitely a guy!
