Sam and I went to the mall this morning to try to find ski pants for me, so I could play outside in the snow without getting all wet and cold. It was a fruitless search.
We stopped for lunch at Chick Fil A and had some tasty chicken. He saw a balloon and asked for one. We weren’t even out of the parking lot when he let all the helium out of it. Silly kid. Did this stop him? Of course not! He’s had more fun blowing up the balloon here at home and letting it go sailing around the room. The sight of this blue balloon streaking through the air brought shrieks of laughter from him. Then its my turn. I’m fortunate the balloon didn’t pop in my face I blew it up rather large. It flew into the next room and I thought Sam would double over in laughter. “Isn’t that funny, Mom?!” He had the best time sticking the balloon in his shirt, or mine, and blowing it up, then letting the air go. I can’t even begin to say how much I love hearing this child laugh. He has the funniest laugh and that smile, that smile makes me forget for a moment how mischievous he can be.
Who would have thought a free balloon from a fast food restaurant would bring such joy and laughter to a 4 year old ? Its the simple things in life which make this boy happy.
Then he told me he’s good at blowing up things. Dude, if you had any idea…………
