Lately, all I seem to hear is, "Momma, can you get me a surprise today?" Some days it's yes and others it's no. Recently though, the surprises have become more costly, so they have been fewer and farther between.
This weekend I needed to go to the mall to pick up a few things and Josh had to go with me. Of course, what that equated to Josh was that the chances for surprise were pretty good. Unfortunately, the mall we have by our home has very few stores, a couple of big name ones, a book store and some other little ones - none being a toy store. Joshy and I decided to hit the book store...I needed a new book and I told Tyler I'd pick one up for him as well. Well Josh, decided a book was NOT what he wanted, but he was going to find some sort of toy.
After what felt like an eternity shopping for a toy in a book store, Josh found this little balloon-powered wooden boat for $3.95. I thought it was going to be a little crappy thing, that within a few hours would be broken...but I was wrong. Since getting that yesterday, he has played with it in the sink for hours, not to mention he actually begged to take a bath (which lately has been a fight.) This little toy has given him hours of enjoyment and it was such a little thing.
When I went to peek on him playing in the bathroom sink he looked at me with the biggest smile on his face and exclaimed, "This is the best present ever!" - It's sometimes the little things that brings a smile to our hearts.
