WS: the coin bank opened
This is my son sorting the coins from his coin bank, which he gathered from last year. Whenever he saw a coin inside our house or he saw us counting, he would ask and put it on his coin bank. 
Also, we always tell him that if he need to buy something, he has to work for it or save money… When we say “work for it”, he has to study well so at the end he has rewards. 
Ok so here are the photos…
And last weekend, we gave permission to open it…
It was cold and nice Saturday morning when Miguel woke up asking for a present, hehe. We told him it’s not Christmas anymore and that Santa went back to Northpole to gather toys again in time for the next Christmas. Then followed the conversation below:
MIGS: But mommy, you and Daddy can give me present.
ME: Why do we need to give you present? There’s no occasion. It’s not Christmas anymore and not your birthday either.
MIGS: Because you and Daddy loves me. So you give me a present…
[wow, I was really touched by his words… ]
ME: But we don’t have money anymore… you have to wait till Mommy receives the money.
MIGS: But I have a bunch. We can use my money. (He’s referring to his coins)…
HAHAHAHA!
Actually he wanted to have the Thomas turntable. He saw it a week ago when we went to the mall near us. That’s why he kept on bugging for the present…
So here’s what we do. Since we received a week ago the cash from my SIL for Migs as Christmas gift we told him we’re going to use that money to buy the toy. But not enough, so we need to use his coins. He opened his 2 coin banks (the red plane and yellow train) and while the little boy sorting it out according to shapes, Daddy was the one counting them all… It’s almost HK$100, plus the money from my SIL, all enough for his Thomas turntable, hehe…
Did we buy the toy? I’ll tell you on my succeeding post, hahaha! Read my post here, hehe
Have a great monday night everyone!
