Peyton had a GREAT day yesterday. He has decided to play lacrosse this year instead of baseball and yesterday we got to pick up all the equipment he’ll need. Man, you need a LOT of stuff for lacrosse! Along with the stuff we had to buy, stick, mouth guard, cleats, etc. we had to rent a helmet, shoulder pads, elbow pads and gloves. He’s never played before, but seems sooo excited to get started and I can’t wait to get a chance to watch him! I love that he’s willing to try new things.
Peyton has also been saving every dollar he’s gotten in the last two years or so for a four wheeler. I’ve watched him take every penny from birthdays, Christmas, good report cards, allowance, etc. and keep it on his dresser in his room, all in the hopes of one day having enough money to buy a four wheeler. I had to watch as his face fell a little on Christmas day because Santa didn’t bring him one and I explained that Santa knew he was saving his own money to buy one so he couldn’t just hand it to him. BUT yesterday it finally worked out that he got one!! It’s all used and needs a little work, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger smile on his face!
I found an ad on Craiglist Friday and called Jason to check it out. So while Peyton, Jaxson and I went to get all of his lacrosse equipment, Jason went to see about the four wheeler. Peyton was anxiously waiting for him to get home because we were supposed to go bowling yesterday afternoon, but that was all forgotten as soon as Jason pulled into the driveway.
It was “little” windy and extremely cold here yesterday, as you can tell from Jaxson’s great hairdo!
Along with the four wheeler, the guy also had a helmet and chest protector. Peyton thinks he is just the coolest!
Of course Jason had to get in on the fun and “test” out the newest toy.
Needless to say the afternoon was not spent at the bowling alley….
I’m so proud and excited for him earning this all by himself!
