Greenday

Jake had a fabulous day. He got to spend some time at Poppa and Grammy's house. Then he got to ride in the car and have french fries and hamberger. He then took a long nap. He got to go shopping. I got a bonus at work and I told Jake he could buy whatever he wanted. Mark and I presented him with toy cash registers, toy cars, keyboards and a karaoke machine but he wanted an 8 pack of wiffle balls for $2 and a big yellow bouncy ball. I am going to savor this moment because I know it won't be long before he asks us for a real car or a mobile phone.

When we came back home, Mark found a concert special of Greenday on TV. Greenday is Jake's favorite band. The song "Wake me Up when September ends" is his favorite. On a recent road trip to Omaha, we had to listen to that for 2 hours. We finally bit the bullet and told him the song was "gone." We had to listen to 15 minutes of him crying for it. We rather hear him cry then to listen to that song again.

He listened to Greenday and played with his toys. Every now and then he would stop and dance. What a nut. He attempted to walk on his own holding onto a push toy with wheels. We ended the day with me pimping his ride. Nana bought him a toy car that he can ride in but it didn't have a horn. I bought a book with buttons that play music and I hooked it up to his steering wheel. This made him very happy.

I'm looking for more days like this.
