This is Miles' new pose for everything. We are puzzled where the hand on the hip came from...
The loot...
Waiting for his turn...
Helping Ms. Renee...
She let him put the coins in the trays & showed him how the trays match the color on each coin wrapper...
His receipt & a lollipop...
He was very happy with the lollipop but not happy that he had to leave his money at the bank. I tried to explain that the bank keeps your money safe until you need it, but that concept was easily lost on a two year old. I work for the best bank ever, and they made our experience great!After depositing Miles' money, we did a little grocery shopping. The cart with the car in the front was a huge hit. We don't usually go to this store, but we might start b/c he was so entertained. As I was trying to maneuver around the store with this huge cart, I thought to myself..."the things we do for our kids"...I ran into a lot of things, but he was a great little shopper, so it was well worth it.
He's a cheap date b/c he does not like when these type of things actually move. He just likes to sit on them. Fine by me.
After a nap & some play time outside, we met Darrin at the rodeo. His team played in Louisville all day. He made it back just in time to meet us.....very good Daddy considering he didn't feel good and was super tired from a long day at work.
Miles loved the rodeo and watched intently for around 20 minutes. Then, he watched a little and wiggled a lot. He liked it enough to want a cowboy hat, boots, & a rope. So what did we do? We left the rodeo at 9:30pm and went to Walmart to look for something rodeo-ish. Of course there wasn't anything b/c all the other parents planned ahead and bought their children such items before the rodeo. Darrin found him some $2 string to use as a lasso. In the middle of Walmart, I thought...."what in the world are we doing here?"..."why didn't we just say no?" 
He went to bed with the string that night and has been playing with ever since. But, don't call it string....it's a rope. Yesterday he did tricks with his "rope" like the rodeo clown. He said "Momma you cheer for me" b/c he kept hearing the announcer say that while we were there. He has also been roping his stick horse that he calls Maximus (after the horse in Tangled). Our little cowboy is fast asleep so I think I'll go catch up on some DVRed shows. Good night all.
Miles looks adorable! It’s a great idea to let the kids experience going to the bank at an early age. That way, they can learn a lot about the importance of money. And the bank is just amazing to service Miles with his money. Renee even taught Miles how to use the coin tray! Maybe, someday, Miles can also work in the bank.
