Jack has been asking for his birthday almost every day since early April. (That's about the time we attended two different birthday parties for his friends over one weekend.) As we are now in the final days leading up to his party, the intensity is growing. Yesterday, he got a birthday card in the mail from Nana and Grandad. He was ecstatic.
Oh, the "robot cat" he is referencing is the Imperial Walker from Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back. (I blogged about it previously.) It is THE gift he wants. We told him no, because they are too much money. ($100.) However, I found a special offer with Amazon to open a new credit card that gave me $40 off. That, combined with his birthday money from Nana and Grandad put it into the realm of reason. So, we told Jack he could ask Nana and Grandad for one. (You know you love your kid when you don't care who gets credit for the special gift...as long as they get what they love.) He talks about getting a robot cat...EVERY day.
I'm really looking forward to his party this year. It's going to be so much fun. His enthusiasm is contagious.
