a ChriSTmaS wISh
this is what i get for waiting until i only have 6 days left to start my CHristmas shopping. joey wants a trumpet. this isn't one of those, "i saw one on a commercial and i want it but ill forget about it by tomorrow" type of thing. oh no, he's hard core about wanting a trumpet. its been about 2 months of consistency as far as answering "a trumpet" when asked what he wants for Christmas. i thought he'd outgrow it. forget about it. decide on soemthing else. but no, if anything, his passion only keeps on growing for this trumpet. by the way, how many four year olds ask for this at Chrismastime? i dont think i even knew what a trumpet was when i was four. anyways, i've looked. and then i've looked at some other places. in fact, i even went so far as to gander over to the local Walmart, and i detest this store. yet i keep striking out. they've got kid guitars. and kid drums. and kid violens. and they even had a kids harp. but no freaking trumpet. i've but two more options to look into tomorrow on the hunt for this instrument that im really not even sure i want in my house. but i guess this is just another one of those things that happens once you've had a kid...i am bound and determined to find this thing, not because i particularly like trumpets(i dont) but because i love that little puker (oh yea, the last 3 nights...) so much and i just want to see him excited, if only for the 30 seconds following him opening it up. because after that, im sure it will become like every other toy...forgotten or lost.
