Max's Choice

5/9/08

Apparently I have been working way too hard to entertain the kids this year.  

Max had the day off from school, so I told him he could choose anything he wanted to do.  What did he come up with?  McDonald's Play Place.   

He was very excited about the Speed Racer car he found in his Happy Meal.

After all the McDonalds awesomeness, we stopped of at Dorby Magoo & Co., a little toy store on Lincoln Ave.  

We drive past it every time we go to Children's Hospital.  We've never been in though, because it is closed on Tuesdays which is our regular clinic day.  

>>>Here is Max saying, "Yes!" when he realized that we were at the toy store AND it was open.

He got to pick out a fist full of 10 cent glow-in-the-dark animals to take home.  His day was made.  Forget you Chicago culture!  All it takes to please Max is McDonald's and a glow-in-the-dark elephant.

Finally, he wanted to go home and make, "paper guys".  This consisted of taking a huge pile of paper, and then crumpling them all up.  Wasteful?  Maybe.  But it is Max's choice today!

To quote Max, "It's really amazing to make Paper Guys!  Paper guys are paper things made with paper.  There's good guys and bad guys.  So the good guys have to kill the bad guys. And so they both each shoot at the same time and the good guys run away from the fire.  My favorite are the bad guys."  

What a day!
