Hi Totite,

Haven't been around much, sounds like things are going great for you, but I wasn't expecting anything less!!

My S4 went to his first b-day party yesterday, first he didn't want to go, wanted to know if I was coming. Went to buy the gift and my goodness, what an experience that was and a good lesson for me. First of all do not take S4 with me and then pick out a toy that S4 wants, tantrum ensued at Target it took all my strength to get out of the store as S4 was trying to hit me and then not follow me..yes I was the mother with the awful child! Ended up breaking down and letting S4 have the toy and went to by another toy for b-day boy. S4 played with the toy, then decided he didn't want it and that I could wrap it up for b-day boy. I said no, you are not giving them to him, it's out of the box and NO you cannot have the TOY we just bought for b-day boy.

Next time I shop by myself for birthday toy, wrap it up and sent it along with S4 so that he doesn't know what it is.

S4 had a great time and said to me "you were right, I did have a good time" he is so darn cute these days! Some days I look at him and say "are you really 4 or 4 going on 12?
