There's something about the third one...especially if it's a boy. This is a common consensus among my mommy friends, that these boys tend to gravitate towards risk. So it was only natural that our theme for his birthday this year was "dragons." Specifically "How to Train Your Dragon." The book is already in the house, so we bought the movie and all the action figure sized toys. (They were on clearance under $1 each @ W-mart.) That gift just brought out the beauty of his nature. With the exception of Night Fury ,he shared every one of those dragons with his siblings. Toys are meant to be played with with friends after all.
He wanted lemon cake w/ lemon frosting. Check. Nothing fancy this time. He was totally fine with it. This morning, he checked to make sure Night Fury had his fire before school. Today, at W-mart...I saw a BIG Night Fury on clearance...but I didn't buy it. He doesn't need more. He's happy with what he has. That's a lesson many adults haven't learned yet, and hard as it is for me sometimes, sometimes it's best to just leave a good thing a good thing.
