First allowance purchase

A couple months ago we started doing allowances with the kids, and our philosophy (I know some parents do it differently) was that they needed to earn it. Every day they have chores e.g. getting dressed, brushing teeth, feeding the dog, clearing their dishes, etc., and at the end of the week if they've done everything they get a small sum. Both kids have had their eye on something big and this week Zo finally had enough money to purchase the unicorn castle of her dreams. We all went with her and made a big deal about it, the clerk and the other people in the store so impressed she had saved and she is over the moon to finally have her unicorns, the sweetest thing, so proud of her.
