A few weeks ago the twins and I went down to the Wally World to spend some gift cards they received for their birthday. It was rainy, Grayson was with his dad, and we had some time to kill. This was a perfect storm for spending money. This is exactly why you save...for a rainy day, right? Typically, when the twins get a chance to "pick whatever they want," Jackson takes about 5 minutes picking something, and spends the rest of the time trying to convince Presley to get things he thinks he might like. Presley, my little perfectionist agonizes over every decision. It totally stresses her out, and she usually takes 30 minutes and cries more than once. I learned this lesson once when Papoo once gave them both $5 to spend at the mall "on whatever you want."
This trip to Wal-mart was no different. Presley carefully walked every isle inspecting everything on the shelves. She picked up everything that looked interesting. Asked me what several things were. Meanwhile, my dear impulse buyer already had his prized possession: a guitar. There were no ifs and or buts about it. Presley bounced between a 2 foot tall stuffed horse and a princess CD player, which she finally decided on.
After that CD player played "Under the Sea" for 4 hours straight it broke. Presley didn't even seem disappointed. She must have been as tired of that song as I was, but she would never admit it. However, the music is still flowing in the George household, thanks to our own personal Elvis impersonator. I hope he keeps this interest, because it's one of the best loud noises he makes in our home. and unlike my weekly battle to get him dressed in whatever uniform he has to where, he can do this in his underwear.
