We enjoyed a trip to the mall today. Not much else to do in this rainy weather. And John actually doesn't complain when we go. We shared some Chick-Fil-A nuggets for lunch. And wandered in a few stores. I scored some great deals on clothes for John.
And he scored a new toy from the Lego Store. It's a pullback "RC" from Toy Story with a couple of sidekicks. One is named Woody.
And the other is Buzz, complete with his own rocket. John's current fascination with rockets and space ships means most anything can serve as a rocket, even the helicopter we picked up earlier in the week. On at least one occasion, he was carrying the helicopter around and singing the theme song from Little Einsteins ("We're going on a trip in our favorite rocket ship, zooming through the sky...") Blast off! While we were in the Lego store, we spent a lot of time looking at a new Lego, The Space Shuttle Adventure, complete with all the solid rocket boosters needed for blasting off. We had a little upset while we were in the store. The power flickered and we all had to leave the store while the lights got straightened out. I'd already told him we'd buy the RC Lego, but he just didn't understand why we had to leave without it. I promised we'd come back before we left the mall. He doesn't always believe me (or even listen, it seems) when I promise him things, but this time he seemed to accept it.
All in all, a very pleasant trip and a good day.
