Mikey turned 8 April 2, 2006!!! OMG! I have one son 15 nearly 16 and now one 8!!! He is such a Red Sox fan and of course he did get things that were baseball oriented (some Red Sox bendy people, a Red Sox tshirt, Red Sox paraphanalia, and a baseball organizer) but my proudest moment was when I gave him money to go to Toys R Us and get whatever he wanted. He picked up some wooden food for his kitchen set, a stroller for his 20 inch boy doll, and some Little Tykes kitchen dishes, including a blender, etc. (I know, its plastic, but they are well made). I was proud of him spending his money on things that I would have bought him and things that encourage him to be creative and imaginative. Some people think that after a young age, young boys only want cars and stuff but thats just not true. Mikey did a great job allocating his funds for the purchases he made...and spent a lot of time in contemplation. He never considered cars or electrical stuff in his equation. He did get a pack of baseball pendants to hang on his wall but he's a baseball fanatic! I will have to post a pix of his room later! Im so proud of my little guy.
