I have recently crossed off an important item on my to-do list. It’s been there a while; admittedly since before Avery was even born. And because it’s been there nearly two years, I feel the ceremonial crossing-off-the-to-do list warrants it’s very own blog post. So, hooray! We’ve officially set-up a college savings account for Avery!
But that’s the good news. The bad news is that, according to savingforcollege.com’s savings calculator, we will need total savings of $225K for Avery’s college expenses. And that’s not Harvard tuition we’re talking, but UGA (and clearly, this chick wants to be a Carolina girl). Thankfully, I’ve come up with a very logical solution to this savings debacle: make Avery wicked smart so that she can earn a scholarship. So, I told her to say goodbye to board books and hello to SAT prep!
One last hurrah with the board books!
I'm confident that these pudgy fingers will do just fine with a Kiplinger's prep book :)
Now that she can say "Go Pack, go!" Avery has become a devoted Packers fan, and her Daddy couldn't be more thrilled. She busted out her pink "00" Packers jersey to watch the Pack take on the Eagles Sunday, and helped cheer on the team to cinch a four-game winning streak. She's looking forward to the Pack coming to town this weekend to take on the Dirty Birds! In the meantime, she wanted to get in a little powder puff football with Daddy, and I was there with the camera to capture some of the action. She's actually got a pretty good arm for a nearly two-year-old. Go Pack, go!
