I thought I was being so funny.  I bought Matthew this Educational dvd
I thought I was being sneaky I said if you are really good you can watch it   Soooo he watches the dvd and loves it.  I say IF YOUR REEAAAALLLLY good I will let you watch it again.  Don't get me wrong I have been working on trying to get him to understand the concept of money but it had not sunk in until now....
M: Mom did you know 2 quarters make 50 cents?
Me: yes
M: Did you know 4 quarters make a dollar?
M: Did you know Abraham Lincoln is on the Penny?
M: Did you know that there are 2 coins that are coins not dollar bills?
M: DId you know that there is a dollar with Susan B. Anthony on it and Sackajawea the other?
Me:  Yes, Matthew I knew.
M:  MOM I NEED one of those coins... MOM I need a dollar coin... Mom I need a dollar coin.. .UHHH Mom I need a dollar coin.  Where do you get a dollar coin.. Mom a coin the dollar one?? I need one...
ON AND ON AND ON......

Where did that leave me?  I interrupt my regularly scheduled cleaning house, transplanting artichokes, fixing dinner, picking brussel sprouts to take my little coin collector to the BANK.  Yep I did.  I marched him up to the teller and said.. TELL him what you want.  Matthew is not shy.  He not only told them what he wanted he counted it back to him.  We had to get both dollar coins and a half dollar.  
Payback I tell ya.
