Gotta love that technology. I never go in to pay for gas anymore. I never have to go to the bank with direct deposit, online bill pay and transfering money online. It makes banking extremely convenient. So now the only times I go to the bank is when I need to deposit rebate checks into our accounts and that's all done via ATM. Well, yesterday I decided to cash a check I received so I went through the drive through teller. I can't remember the last time I did that. It's been YEARS easily.
So as I was going through the teller I was telling Maddy about everything that was happening since she was quite interested. They must have had the speaker on on the inside since they sent back a lollipop for Maddy! I still remember going through the teller with my parents at M&I bank and waiting to see if they'd give me a lollipop. I always hoped they notice me in the back seat! Well, they definitely didn't see Maddy in the back seat since she was on the far side and we were at the far teller bank as well. So they must have heard me talking to her. I thought it was soooo sweet and brought back memories so as I put back the plastic container I thanked them again for the lollipop. And she giggled (since I'm sure she was listening to me say, "Awwwww Maddy, your very first sucker!!!") and said that I was welcome. So cute!
So probably today after her nap while she's in the highchair I will let her taste it and watch her very carefully with it.
Tea of the day: Cinnamon Hazelnut with chocolate cream creamer and splenda (tired today!) Will have Panda Berry Tea later.

You know, I actually have bitter memories about the bank and the lollipop. My parents were so anti-candy and any kind of crappy food that they would throw the lollipops away (they almost seemed angry to be given them). I would be so distraught (but only inside) that we couldn't have them. Needless to say, I will let my kids enjoy them every now and again.
I'm sure Maddy loved it!

Chrissie, I'm sorry to hear about your memory of going to the bank! GEEZ, that is really sad. Glad to hear you'll let K & D have them now and again.
Maddy didn't LIKE it at all. I offered her popcorn (her favorite snack!) instead after she finally finished trying it.
