School has finally gotten back into session & I couldn't be more relieved. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely wouldn't trade being able to stay home for anything...but (can you imagine) Ryan is very social and needs someone besides me to chatter to all day long. We're also excited because when school starts, so do the BYU football games. Can't wait to go to a few games this season.
Ryan is so proud that he finally saved up enough quarters, nickles, dimes, and dollars to trade it in at the bank for a 50 dollar bill! We counted his money every day for months now, even when we didn't add any money to the jar. He earned nickles while learning to read from Gram, he earned a whole handful of random change from Uncle Brett by "helping" him at work, he helps Grandpa George pick vegetables out of the garden, and he always like to help Dad around the house if it involves getting paid for it. We took all of his savings down to the bank & counted it out for the teller. We couldn't just put it through the money counter, so the people behind us were a little put off (they did get another teller to come help them while we spent a good 15 minutes at the counter). At last we had counted it all out to 50 dollars and the banker gave a brand new bill to Ryan. She thought she was pretty clever in asking him what he was going to do with his 50 dollars and Ryan quite simply told her, "I'm going to save for a 100 dollar bill!"
