an early birthday present

Connar has been eyeing this airport play set for the past few weeks in this booth at the market.  Every time we walk past it, he asks to stop or I see him staring at it.  As we walked by that booth the other day, I realized this would be the perfect time to buy it for him with his birthday coming up.  Then I remembered that we had already bought him birthday presents from Toys R Us.  That's when it hit me!  This could be from Parker!  :)

I swooped in, snatched it up, gave the adjuma (old Korean lady) my won, and happily passed it over to a grinning soon to be 3 year old.  I told him, "It's from Parker for your birthday."  He turned to Parker and said, "Thank you, Parker!"  He must've said, "Thank you Parker/Mommy!", "I love it!", and "It's the coolest toy ever!" at least 10 times on our walk home.  It was awesome!  I love seeing my baby so stinkin excited. It was worth every cent...or in this case, won.

I'm thinking he was pretty happy about his choice of birthday present for his big brother.  ;)

He was showing me where he's going to sit when he rides on the plane.
