Life lessons- the birthday addition...

This is the first birthday where Aiden has really taken any interest in his birthday cards. Now that he can read a bit he is starting to see the point of them :).

He was sent two cards in the mail from relatives who live far away- one from his grandparents and another from his great Aunt & Uncle.

Both had these odd pieces of paper stuck in them and Aiden couldn't quite figure out what they were for...

Here is daddy explaining what a "check" is...

So Aiden studied the checks...

and here is the moment when he realized that "check" equals MONEY!

Oh the joy!
