A recent conversation between me and my four-year-old while playing Yahtzee Jr:
Wow, Eli! You are so smart! How did you know that?
Because I can count.
Oh? How high can you count?
Um, sixty.
Can you count for me now?
No. I can count for you when I'm five.
When you're five?
Yes. Then I can count to 209 when I'm five.

Very cute. Unbelievable about the grocery store. I hear you about the budgets - we're really working on ours too. It's been hard because staying on budget has meant saying no to things that seem essential. I haven't had a hair cut in months. On the other hand, I haven't had a hair cut because I've chosen to spend the money on other things that I wanted more. But it's the only way for us to get back on track financially. good luck with yours. It's nice of you to share.
