Simon's list

Simon's birthday is coming up (woo-hoo! yipp-eee) and so I invited the fam over for a birthday partay! I received an e-mail from my sister who is taking charge of the gift. (Rather than lots of presents which drives me crazy, we have all the aunts and uncles chip in and get one nice gift. Grammy of course gives gift. She is after all, Grammy.) Tricia (my sister for those who might not know--love her!) asked for some ideas for gifts for Simon. Are we all on the same page? There were a lot of these "( )" in the above sentences.

Summary: Simon's birthday--What to get?

I sat on the couch with Simon and asked him this question. "Simon, what would you like to get for your birthday?" "Stuff". Since it can be a bit difficult to find "stuff", I asked him for a little clarification. Here is his list typed verbatim.

New pets

Iron Man coloring book

A new blanket

Toys

Iron Man toys

Spiderman toys

Bad guys toys

Transformer toys

Some stuff to give to Penny

Another monster truck toy thing

A race car thing

Race cars

More race cars

A new book: like transformer books and like animal books, and karate stuff

New Legos (Trio blocks)

Did you see the cutest line in the middle? Some stuff to give to Penny. He is such a little caretaker I can hardly stand it! Some lady some day is going to fall deeply in love with him and he'll take such great care of her. . . and their kids. . . . and I'll love watching. Can you tell he is a five year old boy? Hilarious! Oh, and my sister better not get us a new pet!!!
