To a three year old, the concept of money can be kind of illusive. It's generally what makes the adult world go round. With Hudson's first job came his first paycheck. He was excited to give some to the bishop for tithing. We had him save the largest portion of it, and he got ten dollars to spend. As soon as he saw this Cars umbrella, he knew what he wanted. I insisted on him looking around, even at different stores. Still he begged for the umbrella. This went on for a day or two. Finally we went back to town so he could make his purchase.
He confidently walked up to the cashier and placed his money on the counter. You could almost see him grow as he swelled with pride from being able to buy something all by himself. And the best part, the cashier gave him money back for buying something!
If it's not raining, it's pretend raining and Hudson is carrying his umbrella around.

Good work Hudson. Maybe Uncle Tis will have to borrow that umbrella sometime. I recently went out in the rain and pulled out the umbrella in my bag. I tried to open it, and the entire umbrella flew off the handle.
