Harrison loves Tessy & Tab and was so happy to read about
their trip on the airplane! He is so excited to learn and tells people we see
all of the time about the pilot who flies the plane from the cockpit! We
are so impressed that he is expanding his vocabulary with the help of T&T
and using such big words like "disembark". Thank you for making
learning fun.
I have to share that it's been amazing to watch the Money Manager progress in our house with our son Tony (4 ½ years
old). First the excitement of getting something new in the mail followed by the fun of putting together the Moonjar bank. We love the fantastic charts that outline the daily chores and
those "family responsibilities". In fact, all of the reading material was very informative and easy for both Tony and I to understand.
Tony has COMPLETELY embraced this project -- he even wakes up in the morning (most mornings) and asks if I
have clothes for him to put away!
Another huge benefit is the change in our shopping experience. Since my husband and I committed to no longer purchase any
'discretionary' items for Tony, he's been an angel when we're in a store.
No more do we have the whining, crying and begging -- instead a simple "you
haven't saved up enough money yet" suffices! Out the door we go with
only the things purchased that were on the list. AND, the other day at Kohl’s,
he said "Momma, can I go to the toy section to just look and see if
there's something I might want to save for?" He looked around, asked
me to add some things to his 'list' and we left - no tears!
Tony is just days away from having enough money saved up for his first purchase. We can't wait to count that cash and go to the store. Camera in hand, this momma is going to be proud to watch her little guy march up to the cashier and hand over his loot... and here is what happened:
First, Tony took his Moonjar bank to the machine that counts all your change in order to exchange it for cash:
Tony is proud to display the money he saved!
But, the real joy comes from purchasing a toy that he picked out and paid for himself!
Thank you Tessy & Tab for a WONDERFUL product!
P.S. I'm secretly hoping you will create a Money Manager kit for adults too!
