The real thing!

Ellis can not contain his excitement! He could barely even take a nap today.


We ran a few errands this morning and then went to Kohl’s to use up a gift card we had. I was looking around in the kids section and Trevor was taking Ellis to the bathroom when I heard Trevor say, "uh oh Cass." I thought we were going to have to do a costume change but it turned out that when Ellis walked back through the boys dept. they had t-shirts on sale for $10 with a real life mini me skateboard attached. It is the perfect size skateboard for a toddler; although I'm not sure skateboards are actually perfect for toddlers. It didn't take but two seconds for it to become "mine skateboard" or for me to realize that I am weak! Trevor said it was up to me....up to me, I thought.....well this is a no brainer look how happy he is and it isn't even out of the package yet. I'm sure I don't need to tell you, but we now have a skateboard.....and quite possibly the happiest child on this side of the Rockies.

At nap time he cried himself to sleep. "I want mine skateboard on my bed." You see I did have brains enough not to let him keep it in his room during nap time. A few minutes into all of the commotion Trevor returned to his room (which is a no no in my book) and told him again that the skateboard would be there when he woke up. As Trevor came out of his room, having made no change with the tears at all, I told him he was an amateur. I guess this is where I must confess....and profess myself an amateur as well.
