Funny Peter Moments

Last week Peter came running out of the bathroom yelling, "Mom! Dad! My eyebrows move!" I don't know that I have ever seen him so excited about a discovery!

Yesterday I took Peter to Toys"R"Us to use his birthday money and a $3 off birthday gift card. I told him how much money he had to spend, and we began to walk around gathering things that he might like. We checked prices and he came to the conclusion that he wanted a dragon. But he didn't have enough money for both dragons he had picked, so I gave him different options of what he could get. After thinking about it he sat down on the floor and said, "Maybe I won't get anything because I just can't decide.....sigh..." I, of course, melted. So he and I sat on the floor together deciding which dragon was cooler and which could do more things. A sales associate came by, gave me a bizarre look, and asked if he could help with anything. I just said, "Nope...unless you want to make a decision for a 5-year-old." A look of understanding came across his face and he said to Peter, "That's the hardest part." He ended up pleased as punch with his purchase of an Imaginext dragon and fighting knight...and he looked so big getting out his wallet to pay for it! What a sweetie!

Yay Peter! I can't imagine a cooler birthday toy than a dragon. What a great kid. (And yay for you for helping him make the decision!)
