So.
Jack has been saving and saving and saving for a Nintendo DS Lite. A.J. has as well, but Jack is a bit better about saving, in general, even though his allowance is less than his brother's. In addition, Jack has received a few cash gifts for his birthday, while A.J.'s real birthday is not until next week.
But it was A.J.'s idea first to save for a Nintendo DS Lite. This was primarily because he broke his GameBoy Advance. It was three years old at the time, so he decided not to replace it (for much cheaper) because most new games are not even released for the GameBoy anymore.
A.J.'s getting closer, and his slightly larger allowance will help him, but he's still got about two months' worth of saving to do before he'll have enough for the DS Lite. Jack, on the other hand, as of today's allowance, has the money right now.
He's saved it, he's waited, and he's SUPER excited about going to pick one out... but a part of me feels kinda rotten for A.J. because "saving for a Nintendo DS Lite" was originally his idea. I have no doubt that he'll keep saving his monies as well, but... yeah.
Being a mom means that, sometimes, your heart will feel two entirely different emotions for your two entirely different kids.
