When Mimi came over earlier this week she brought with her B's Christmas gifts. I suggested she wait to give him the bigger present when we gave TC (Mimi's 6 year old little girl) her presents. So I put the present in my craft room while she busied B with opening up his "stocking" presents. I hid it in the corner and even covered it with a bag,

I thought I did a good job of hiding it. I did not. B and his eagle eye vision saw the Santa wrapping paper as he crawled under the table to reach something that had fallen. If he hadn't of gone under the table, he would never had noticed it, I swear. Instantly he wanted to open it and I just wasn't sure what to do. I know I always love seeing someone open a present I picked out for them and I know Mimi feel's the same. So I tried to talk to him about having to wait and that I would put the present up. He responded with a big long "Nooooooo". I then said "Let's wait for Mimi to come over to open it" his little eyes sparkled and hugged the box to his chest and ran out to the living room. He then set the package down on his table and said "Me wait for Mimi". During this I was trying to get Mimi on the phone to see when she was coming over. I couldn't get a hold of her. I looked at him and he was standing so sweetly with his little hands on the box and one little finger slowly flipping the corner of the wrapping paper over. The paper ripped a little and he just slowly picked at it and then would pat it down and then pick at it and then pat it down again. Over and over he did this. He just couldn't wait to open it. I then said "Okay, you can open it" realizing that I just couldn't make him wait. He ripped the paper and tore open the box to discover a "race car" and "guys" inside. It was a Bat mobile with  Batman, Joker, and Penguin guys included. Love at first sight.

Later when Daddy got home he ran to the door and showed him his car saying "goes really fast!", and when Mimi came later he raced to the gate to show her the car. This morning when he woke up you could tell when he remembered about the car. It was as the little light bulb went off and he perked up and said "race car!",

This morning Mimi and I had plans, so B and Daddy had a morning together. Daddy had announced this morning that they were going to go shopping. B said
"Go shopping toys?"
"No, you we aren't going shopping for toys"
"Need more toys"
"You don't need any more toy's"
"Choo choo train" "
"You have a train"
This was how the conversation went. It was cute to listen to from the other room.

It's hard having a cute little face look up at you at the store and say "Look at toys?" and not go and look at the toys and not end up buying that cute little face just one little toy. It is so hard. I know when I go out shopping it's hard not to buy something that is not on my list. Whether it's a chocolaty yummy goodie or new pack of pens. It's hard. And I do usually end up giving in to that cute little face looking up at me.

But I am not the only one! Later when Mimi and I had returned home, B and Daddy were still out. When they came home Mimi saw B enter the house first and said "He's got something". He was so happy to show us what he got: a football guy! It is a figurine of Tony Romo from the Dallas Cowboys in his "throwing" pose. Not really meant for a two year old, but meant for a two year old who was about to lose it in Target who really wanted a football guy.

He fell asleep at nap time with it, took a bath with it, and needed to know where he was when he went to bed tonight.
