So just how does one resist this?

Justin's been learning new words lately.
Keeps them coming with leaps and bounds. Rather neat I find.

Today he surprised me with Here it is (when I asked him to get his boots). Eat! at breakfast (when he wouldn't eat.... I think I was supposed to or something).

And then here we are at Wal-mart....needed to get something there can't remember what right now... anyways, walking through the toy section just to see if there are any good deals (sometimes we find amazing deals there). not today though.
But what do my wondering ears hear??? My boyo ever so happily saying toys! toys! (very excited commentary from this 21 month old lad). followed by a mournful toys...toys... as we move further away from said toys (6 six trucks in a box). We go back to look (happy lad) with mournful toys toys.. when we leave them again. Daddy distracted him with a push toy which was kinda interesting but not a keeper (but got us away from the trucks).

Then came tain tain! Tain tain!

Thomas the train caught his eye...he wanted, oh but he wanted.....

How does one shut out mournful tain tain noises from a boy child? Not crying, just a very very cute and mournful..tain, tain....

How does one shut those mournful sounds out?

One realizes that Thomas the train sells for outrageous amounts of money is how! :)
Doesn't make it any easier though..... such a mournful little voice.....

We settled for a couple of dinky cars on sale for 82 cents a piece (one of which looked kinda like a train car when in the box)...way better than one TAIN TAIN for 7.49 a piece! Even if one has to deal with a mad boy throwing a truck because it's not a tain tain (when he got it out of the box)!

He is VERY happy with the truck now though. :)

That's so sweet. Cherish the time when they're little.
