Big Boy Bike

SJ had a Gift Card for Toysrus to use so we went and put it to good use on Monday.
It was the 1st time he had ever been given an amount of money and been able to pick out whatever he wanted. Of course he wanted everything he touched but we had finally settled on a spider man mega blocks set, a grabber like his BFF's, an uno game and some books.
Then we hit the bike section. I had wanted to get him a big boy bike for Christmas but every time we saw one in an advertisement SJ would say Mommy tell Santa I dont want a bike like that, I don't know how to ride it.
I was a bit shocked when he spotted them and said MOMMY I WANT ONE OF THOSE so we looked at them and picked out one he almost had enough money for and let him ride it around the store. He rode like he had been riding forever.
We then had the conversation, you can either have everything in the cart or this 1 bike. To my surprise he picked the bike.
We have been on 2 bike rides so far, he likes making me run to keep up with him and honestly I like it too, it will help me lose the rest of this weight!

A flying trapeeze

when SJ made his Christmas list #2 on his list right behind a yo-yo was a flying trapeze. I tried and tried to figure out what he was talking about i knew it couldn't be a true trapeze that he wanted for Christmas. Well Christmas morning came and he opened all his gifts and he looked right at me with the saddest look in his eyes and said "mommy i just don't understand why Santa didn't bring me a flying trapeze" of course this made me almost cry.

Of course he got a ton of other wonderful gifts but every few hours he would mention this flying trapeze.

So a few days go by and we go to my moms house to have a late Christmas celebration with her. Well he opens his first gift and screams A FLYING TRAPEZE JUST WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED. I don't know how he got in his head that this was a flying trapeze but we all got a good laugh out of it.

Here is my cool dude playing with his flying trapeze. :)
