SKATEBOARD
As a "pooped in the potty" reward, we took Tobin to Toys R Us to pick something out. (In case you're wondering, bribes go a long way in parenting...) Of course it's nearly impossible to get through that store quickly - you walk in and 3 feet inside you're stopped for whatever the evil management of Toys R Us has set there. At least let us get in the door!
So we made it about 25 feet inside when Tobin made a bee-line for the backpacks. Both he and Blane are pretty gaga over any sort of bag (or vaccuum, or tool, or...) so this wasn't a surprise. What was a surprise for us was why he picked this particular bag - it contained a small, Tobin-sized skateboard which he immediately removed and tried to ride. He was all smiles.
It was fun seeing him on there, but we convinced him to keep looking. He doesn't need the bloody knees and elbows that I had, for at least another 6 years.
