She DID IT!!! my 4yr old's first business.

 It was somewhere around 830 when we got outside, I had to go get ice, and after that we were good to go.

Grandma Pink was the first customer, then her daddy, and an old man down the street (Mr. Alexander who was old when I was a kid) came by and got a glass before he went to work in his garden. Then he came by again on his way home, this time getting a cup for his wife.  Everyone agreed her price was very reasonable and liked her product.


 ((She came up with the name herself, and we painted it together. ))

She was fine when she was helping family but she got sacred when she had neighbors come by, so we had to role play and pretend so she would get used to what she was needing to do.

I was in control of the money and keeping track of what kind we sold. She got the cups, ice, and poured the drinks.

 Overall, she made $13.37, enough to buy a new tire. All her friends came and got a drink, and all thought it was awesome that she was making money. Some asked if she was going to buy candy, but she informed them that she would ONLY if she had money left.

Now for money invested in, it was just over $10, but we arent going to take our money back, instead we are going to let her learn that lesson at a later date when she understands a bit more.
 For now we are just proud of her for sitting out there for about 8hrs, (at the table or close by to help, except to come in to eat, but still able to go out if her "customers" needed her)

I got a lot of reading done, but did have to go in and fell asleep on the couch. Not to much happened in that time, and she and daddy took care of it.
