Boys and their toys...

... will drive a Mommy and Daddy crazy!! We've always thought parents who gave their children everything they wanted were crazy, until we became 'those' parents today!! After a wonderful morning at Lazy Acres Pumpkin Patch, we decided it would be a good idea to stop at Geoffery's to see what Jon Daniel could ask Santa for and that's when things went wrong, very wrong! They (Geoffrey's) had a sale on Little Tikes toys, you bought one at $24.99 or more and got one at $24.99 or less for free! Drew and I decided that this sale opportunity would be a good time for 'Santa' to get a head start. We had been talking about getting Jon Daniel a Cozy Coupe car for some time, but decided that it would be best if we waited until the Easter Bunny visited. After some debate we agreed that we should go ahead and get it and then get the tool bench that we wanted for Jon Daniel. After some searching throughout the store, the manager found 1 Cozy Coupe car, however it was assembled, but we decided to take it anyway. Here's where the story goes wrong - we decided to let Jon Daniel try it out to make sure he liked it, and he did. He liked it so much that after Drew had pushed it throughout the store and to the car, he didn't want to get out! Drew opened the door and tried to show him how to get out and JDM snatched the door and slammed it. After we decided that he couldn't be pushed all the way home, I just took him out so that we could go on our way and he pitched a fit like he'd been beaten. I thought that my parents would get the biggest kick out of the whole thing so I called my Mom who told me "he'll forget about it by the time you get home!' Well, he didn't! We got out of the car and he went to crying and hollering "CA, CA!" and pointing at the trunk! So guess who got a Cozy Coupe today??? JON DANIEL!!



LOOK!! I can honk the horn with my head!!

Giving his new car love! This was the funniest thing I had seen all day!

And one more for good measure -- drinking from a straw, a new favorite thing!
