Actually, If he kind of runs out of money, it might be a better lesson for him. Getting prepared for real life stuff. Next time I'll send the sell-ables to you and you can decide what he needs.

I think it is good too Tina! I was actually telling his grandma about it yesterday and even she said that it is a good life lesson for him. You can send the sellables to him too Tina. It is not a big deal. He really enjoys being able to buy stuff and I am alright with it.

This (meaning Webkinz) will be very good for him. He will learn so much from it. That is such a fun age.

It is a fun age. He hasn't even had his Webkinz for a week but it is amazing how much he has figured out in there already. One thing that I have noticed is that at first he would go try and buy things and ask me why he couldn't buy it. I would have to tell him that it said that he didn't have enough money. Now he looks at how much money he has and then how much whatever he wants costs and will say....hey mom I can buy this or I don't have enough money for this. I thought that was neat!!

That is very good. He is learning money values. He will end up being able to read some key words pretty soon. Ones that pop up all of the time. I think it is a wonderful, safe learning tool.

He has a grill but no stove yet. He has actually not started a kitchen yet. We will have to work on that yet. He made some gunk but that is about it!

Jiffy if you have a stove or sandwich maker or blender, when you click on them a box pops up. You can drag 3 foods to it and 'cook' them up. I have pages and pages of real recipes printed out.

Oh yeah. I saw a different table that I hadn't seen before. So I snagged it. I will quit inundating you with hockey stuff now. What's your next theme?

Hockey is a fairly common CSO (curio shop only). Medieval is semi-common except for a few pieces, like the bed, dresser and sofa. And the med. tv is very rare. It is all fun to collect when you see stuff. I miss the rares quite often. But as you move up the levels in the curio shop at the top level Arte will tell you when a rare is coming up for sale. Lately, he has lied a couple of times about the time. I think ganz is still working out their curio shop schedule.

I've noticed Arte doesn't tell the right time for the rares if I ask him between 12am-2am. If I wait until the morning and ask he's been pretty acurate for me. I wish we knew what was going to be there, but the time is better than nothing.

Jiffy, you get to different levels by how much stuff you buy from the curio shop and by tipping Arte.

The levels move up fairly randomly depending on how often you shop and if you tip Arte. You can tell you have moved up a level by what Arte says when you enter the shop. His greeting get a little warmer. (It freaked me out a bit at first) When he says "There you are! My shop is your shop." You know you've reached the seventh (top) level. Thenwhen you ask about rares he flips out a sign with a time on it.

I forget to ask in the mornings. Or ask and simply forget to check. I try to see what people are getting on their Asian and Euro accounts in WI. I'm interested in the ancient civ stuff right now. And of course fun stuff to gift around.

You tip by clicking on his tip can. It gives you options from $10 to $100 or something. I don't tip anymore unless he gives me a lot for a gem.

We never did tip. We just bought a lot of stuff very regularly. We've been on the 7th level for quite a while.

I've been going back through all of the w shop themes to make sure we have all the pieces to each them. It's been quite expensive filling in the gaps. It's been awhile since they've retired a theme. I wouldn't be shocked if they did soon. I've noticed the lilypad and ice themes have been in the curio shop a lot lately.
