He can't even sit up yet and we've already got 'em saving! You're looking at the newest account holder at the Delta Community Credit Union. I've banked with them forever and can't say enough good things. It's the cutest little account called a Sandy Saver. "Sandy" is the little airplane mascot I think. It's not all that exciting until he learns how to use a computer and/or color, but each month they send a kid friendly statement explaining their balance, interest, etc. The statement is complete with games and pictures to color. There is also an interactive kids website where he can go play (but not actually do anything with his money). For now, it's just a place to put money he gets from grandparents and such. That will not be our savings account for him, but I think it will be a great learning tool for managing birthday gifts and tooth fairy money.
Special thanks to Gigi for his opening deposit! She started him a little piggy bank for loose change when she found out I was pregnant. I was floored to find out that little thing had 188 bucks in it. Who would've thought saving change would add up that fast!
H will have enough to send you and J on a vacation before too long.
