Ellie has been saving up her quarters to buy a horse stuffed animal that she really wanted and she FINALLY had enough money to buy it all by herself!  That's almost $9.00!!!
Ellie:  Ok, so what we're looking for is a horse.
Mommy:  I'll help.  How about this one?
Ellie:  No, I'm looking for a brown horse.
Daddy:  Like this one?
Ellie:  Yeah!  Look Mommy!  Daddy found it!
Mommy:  I found one too!
Ellie:  Hey, I have an idea!  Dis one can be for me wif my own money and dis one can be for Addie.
Mommy:  Oh, sweetie, Addie isn't old enough to have her own money yet so I don't think we can buy her one too.
Ellie:  No I mean wif my money!
Mommy:  But you only have enough money to buy one.
Ellie:  Hey!  I have an idea dat is a good one!  How about I buy dis one wif my own money and DEN I can save more money and buy one for Addie!
Mommy:  Oh, that would be very nice of you!
Ellie:  Did you hear dat, Addie?  I can save my monies so dat you can have a horse too!
Later after buying the horse and getting some change back from the cashier...
Ellie:  Look, Daddy!  I got some money back and I can already start saving for anoder horsie for Addie!  See?  
I'm telling you, this girl is an amazing sister.  It was a big feat for her to save for the first horse since she has the potential of earning a maximum of 8 quarters in any given week (Ha!  Like that's ever going to happen), let alone her offering to do it again for Addie's sake!
