Skylar loves Disney princesses, as do most girls her age. Her favorite just happens to be Jasmine. Skylar saw this doll and fell in love with it. I told her to save her money so that she could buy it herself. The saving began and I swear we counted out her money once a week for a few months. Well, she worked and saved and when she finally had enough money, we went to the store, bags of coins in hand, to buy it! But of course they didn't have it! Poor Skylar! She was so disappointed because she had worked so hard. So that begun the search. As I found out, Jasmine is the rarest of these dolls and they only make like 1 compared to 4 of the other princesses per box. But only Jasmine would do! Finally, after a month or so of going to every store looking for it, including many of the Toys 'R Us (Walmart, Target, etc., etc.) stores in SL and UT Counties, we found it! I just had to post this because I was so proud of her hard work and patience (like 4-5 months of it!) in getting what she really wanted!! Great job Skylar!!!
Oh, we also found something else in our visits to all the Toys R Us stores. This Batman & Robin ride thing was definitely a hit! The smiles on the kids faces made the driving around all over totally worth it!

Yeah for Skylar! That is awesome that you make your kids work for things they want. We do too and I think it is so important to teach them and start when they are young about having to work for what they want. My kids always value what they spent their own money on more than what they get for their birthday anyway!
