Miss J. received some money from her brother for her birthday. She decided that she wanted to go to the Salon for the first time and have her hair done.
She really enjoyed the whole experience. She got a "bob" which looks great on her and is easy for her to manage by herself.
I admired how she was able to spend her gift of money in a special way that would be fun and a treat for her. In the past, I have definitely been known to use a gift of money (given to me) to pay a bill or to gas up the car. That isn't much fun. I liked my daughter's attitude and I will try to emulate that in the future.
