Is he doing an Irish Jig?
We went to the library today for the half price book sale. We got some cool books, three kids VHS films including Neverending Story (which I think they may still be a little too young for) and Kid Pix 3 all for just $5.
Earlier in the day I had promised Robby that if it rained today, we could go to Toys R Us and exchange a present he got a long time ago (which he never opened) for what he really wants, the Hot Wheels Trick Track. It rainded. We arrived at Toys R Us to find out they changed there return policy (because they said Target and other stores changed there policy and they were getting stuck with all the returns) and now they will only exchange things with a receipt. I tried to play the kids on the return lady, "sorry guys, that is their policy, no toys!" but, she wasn't buying it...
As we walked back to our car with no new Hot Wheels, I thought, maybe we could try Target. So, we drove to the mall and wouldn't you know it, Target took the stuff back (without a receipt) and we ended up getting the Hot Wheels Robby so desperately wanted. So, I took that opportunity to tell the kids, "if you want something.. don't ever give up."
Lately I have been thinking a lot about what I will pass onto my kids. I mean what they will remember of me. How the things I teach them can build their character and mold who they become. Which brings me to the car ride home from the mall. We were in the car, and I heard a love song come on the radio. Now I am pretty sappy when it comes to love songs. On many occassions I have heard love songs on the radio, and they have made me think of how lucky I am to have Mary and I have just sat there in my car driving with tears streaming down my face. Today, when I heard the love song, I looked in my rearview mirror at the kids and I had a thought. I thought that someday they will meet girls and someday they will meet "the one." The one that will make them happy in a way that no other person can. I thought about my little boys growing up and falling in love. And I sat there with tears streaming down my face.
Love Songs
Four days later we are still very excited about our World Champion Boston Celtics.
