"COINS"


A couple times a week Landon asks if we can walk to the mall. Not because he loves to shop, but because he loves to play on the little firetrucks and other fun rides. He is always asking for "coins" (which I find funny because I've always called them quarters) so that he can take them to the mall. About twice a month we give in and let Landon earn the whopping seventy-five cents it takes to go on a 2 minute ride and we walk to the mall. Luckily, Landon always chooses a vehicle that has two seats so Zachary enjoys it too.

Today, we went to Walmart and as we were leaving I gave Landon a bunch of change to put in the red tin. What I thought was going to be a simple task ended up taking much longer because Landon had to sort the change and in the end would only put the pennies, nickels, and dimes into the tin. The quarters he kept for himself and asked if we could take the "coins" to the mall to go for a ride.
