I racked my brain for something just right for the occasion. Something that would be something he would be excited about and make up for the little attention the two occasions were going to get.
Luckily, while discussing the problem with my sister in law, Kendra, (here visiting over Memorial Day Weekend) she had a brilliant idea: an IPad.
John has been eyeing the tablets for a long time. The reality is when you have three kids, cars, a house, and a spouse who works part time for very little money, you have to be a grown up about where your money goes. Stinks being a grown up sometimes :). But, I counted up my pennies and made it happen with a little help. Of course, the local version of the big store didn't have any in stock.. Nor did the other three locations within driving distance. Luckily, there was one in Rochester, MN and my mom was able to pick it up and bring it with when they came to help.
So, I got him an iPad. With some help. He was pretty happy- which made me happy.
