Money Well Spent

When I saw these little gardening tools in the Target dollar section a few months ago, I knew I would not regret picking a few up. I love those mother-moments when you KNOW you are making a great decision, based on how well you know your kids and the things that will keep them busy. They have been well used already, as I knew they would be.
We have special instincts, mothers do. I am smiling to myself as I remember a couple years ago suggesting to Nate that we get Jansen his first train set. Nate said to me, "Don't you think it will just be one of those things he never really plays with?" Mothers know best.

I wish I could consider myself one of those mothers who know best. Natalie knows everything she is getting for her birthday because I don't trust myself in picking things out. Poor Santa didn't pull it off this year with Nat's Christmas presents, and I heard he cried Christmas night because of it. Poor guy. Don't want to end up like him.

Those trains were a waste of money. I mean, it's not like he likes them enough to be obsessed or anything. Like not enough to correct little one-year-old boys with matching jackets that "There is no such thing as a CHOO-CHOO TRAIN!" :)
