Eli's New Guitar

Ever since Joshua's birthday when Josh got a drum with a bunch of other instruments inside Eli has been wanting a guitar. So we told him that he could earn and save money and buy one. We decided that he would have to earn $7.50 after paying tithing and then we would help him with the rest of the guitar. (We didn't want it to take forever for him to earn the money, next toy he decides to get he will have to earn himself.) If he did his chores Monday-Saturday (and we remembered) he could earn 25 cents.
Last Saturday he finally had save enough money so we took him to Toys R Us and let him pick out his guitar. Previously, anytime we went to Walmart or Target he would ask to go look at the guitars to see 'his' guitar. The first one we looked at he didn't like, but then we found this next one which he was excited for. So we went to the checkout, had Eli give the cashier his 7.50 (we'd traded him for dollars to make the experience easier on the cashier) and he bought the guitar. He is VERY VERY VERY excited for it. Although once he got home he asked for a case for it. Right now he is using the box.

Eli and his guitar, a very happy boy.


Here is a video (sorry no sound) of Eli playing his new guitar. I think you can tell that he likes it.
