Emily was very excited to take Emily back to where she came from, the American Girl store in NYC. During this last month of school, Emily was learning about needs and wants and she told me that on BrainPop they learned to take a jar and put on it something that you want and to earn money to buy the item. So, she has been very "busy" doing chores that have been asked of her and ones that have not (she weeded the back flower bed without being asked). At the store, she spent a $25 gift card from her birthday and the $6 she made in chore money. We also bought a dress that Emily could wear and we are trying to purchase a matching one for her doll as a "reward" for doing well in the Accelerated Reading program at school (she was invited along with other students to an ice cream social for their accomplishment). We had a great time at the store and Emily found the next item for her "money/chore jar" - a wrought iron bed for her doll (she even has a picture of it).
