Shopping with Rose

Rose got to spend her first money today.  Because we'd had a busy weekend she didn't have her full amount but she had 20 pesos to spend which isn't a huge amount but there are some"vente" (pronounced bent-eh and means twenty) shops and stalls around where everything is twenty pesos but, unfortunately, not in the mall we go to after Church.  So we spent quite some time trawling the shops and stalls for suitably priced items but I was really impressed with Rose because I thought she might just spend the money on whatever because she could but, oh no.  She knew what she wanted - something pretty! She would say "I have one of those", or "I don't want that".  I think it gives a glimpse of her personality and I was pleased with her control.  We did eventually find a ballpoint pen that fit the bill and she is very into writing her letters an things so it was a good buy.
