Don’t kids just crack you up? All we have heard for months now is, “I want a yellow bike”, “I’m getting a yellow bike”, we’ve told friends, family members, strangers and even the big man himself. It was a done deal. We’ve been good, Santa was bringing the yellow bike, all was right with the world. I even ask if he wanted ANY, OTHER toys and the answer was always the same, “No thank you, I just want a yellow bike.”
Big morning, big moment, drum roll please……….he walks out, he looks at the bike (very seriously as Noah is always serious), and he says, “please take off the streamers (which we forgot and they were kind of girlie), then he says, “the water bottle needs to go on the side, not the front” (with which we reply, OK we can probably fix that) and then without a moment’s hesitation his eye catches the race track set up in the corner and he screams, “A race track, I really like this race track” and from then on out it was all about the race track. So much for the yellow bike.
He did get on it later for a few moments, but not the reaction you’d think seeing how we had talked about it for MONTHS ON END! He was even more excited about his yellow, rain boots because, as he told us, “He had wanted them for a long time!”.
Kids crack me up! It was a great day and he was an angel until he fell asleep. He loved everything and my living room currently looks like a damaged ToysRUs store! It’s sad! It was a great day and we will need the weekend to recuperate.
PS: The Flippin’ Frog game was fun and Noah did love it. We played and of course, he was the yellow frogs!

Ain’t it the truth?? My kids ended playing with all the stocking stuffers that came from the Dollar Store while the big dollar items just sat there. That should probably teach me a lesson!
I, on the other hand, am having a great time playing with all my expensive presents!!

Yeah, I have to admit, I’m into the V-tech video game quite a bit and he’s not yet. He does like it but I seem to like it a lot more. We both like the race track though so that is cool. I like this age, we have tons of stuff to play with so I get to be a kid again! We got some of the old games; Trouble, Twister, Checkers so it’s been fun to play them too!
