As Carl and I watch our (almost) 3 year old recklessly jump on the bed... wondering where the "no fear" gene came from.... Daddy asks Tanner to stop jumping on the bed. "Yes I can..." comes the reply. "Really.... says who?" asks Daddy. "Aunt Tracey said I could"......
We had a great night tonight, our dear friend Brent turned a very young 37 and we celebrated in style with Osaka! There were 5 children there... and I am pretty sure their total ages do not add up to Brent's dinosaur age.... but hey! Who's adding?? The kids had a great time and Brent and Carl sure enjoyed the Japanese Saki!!
Have you ever taken a trip to Target just to go? Not really any point to the trip? We do have a birthday party to attend on Saturday so I could pull the "Super Mom" card and say I am just that organized... but, that is not the truth! So Tanner and I aimlessly wandered the aisles of Target.
Ending up in the Thomas the Train aisle like we always do... Tanner found a toy he just couldn't live without. As we negotiated the purchase... (wait for your birthday, go potty on the big boy potty... etc...) he finally just said he's going to ask Santa for it! ALRIGHT! As I anxiously waited for the news to set in (that he wasn't getting the toy) and for the almost always present whine or temper tantrum to start, another mom spoke up " That is the cutest thing I have ever seen. I can't believe how good he is!!"
And he was! He didn't freak out or cry... or whine... merely went to the next aisle where the Cars toys are and started looking. I was so proud of him. I almost bought the Thomas toy... (but the other mom was still there and I didn't want her to see me cave...)
So there you have it, for one small moment in time tonight... This crazy, neurotic, unorganized person that I am... was Super Mom!!!!!!
