Proud
A year or so ago Joe started asking for a Nintendo DSLite. All his friends had one apparently.
In fact, he said, he was the only boy in the entire world who didn’t have one.
So, we told him (largely because we didn’t want him to have one) that if he wanted one he would have to save up until he could buy one for himself.
And the determined wee wart has done exactly that.
He has saved every single penny that has come his way for over a year. And now he is the worlds’ proudest Nintendo DS owner.
And we are astonished by his will power, stubborness and determination. Joe, you are a 6 year old force to be reckoned with and we are so very proud of you.
And you make a sweet snowman!
Now I mustn’t forget to mention that the winner of the teacosy is…. (via a random number thingy) number 3- Lucykatecrafts! Congratulations!
Thanks to all who commented and I love that so many of you de-lurked.
I have enjoyed finding so many lovely new blogs and now spend even longer everyday looking at what everyone else is doing instead of actually doing anything myself!

I think it’s wonderful that a 6 year old saved for something he wanted. Too often we just buy our children whatever they want because all their friends have it. I’m sure he’s learned a great lesson and I would be ssooooo proud too!

Oh no – I didn’t win 🙁
Maybe the next time though.
Well done Joe on saving and getting your Nintendo DSLite. You will have to show me what it does.

I admire children who manage to do like your son. I do understand why he is proud…
