What would you do with $30?


If you were a three and a half year old, and were given a $30 gift card to Toys R Us from grandparent's for Easter, what do you think you would get? Brayden was in such a situation today when I took him to choose what he wanted. I figured maybe a new game for his Leapster, Legos, a movie, books, arts and craft stuff, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (been talking about them non-stop since Daddy took him to see the movie), possibly Woody from Toy Story since he has been telling us that his Buzz needs Woody to be his friend, more accessories for his Imaginext Castle or T-Rex Mountain, or some sort of car or super hero action figure. Nope, I was wrong on all accounts! After combing through the entire store, twice, this is what he chose to purchase with his money.....
That's right, a singing, talking, motion activated, with no volume control, Sportacus Costume!! Just what Mommy and Daddy were hoping he would choose (or not so much)!
(For those of you who aren't familiar with Sportacus, he is a very active hero sort of guy on LazyTown, a show on Nick Jr./Noggin. He's hard to explain- really the whole show is- without actually experiencing the show!)
