Decisions, Decisions!

Yesterday was the last day of school for Nicholas. He is finished with second grade! YAY.

Now starts a new phase in his life, when Mommy will get married and life will no longer be the same. YAY.

I was the lucky g'ma who got to pick him up from daycare yesterday to start this waiting game before the June 1 Big Day.

BUT, he still has to decide what suitcase he wants for the trip to Hawaii. His old kiddie one is just not suitable anymore. So Donica said we would get him a new one as an early birthday present. AND we would let him pick.

So once we got home yesterday, I let him loose in the hallway to check out the 3 we bought. "Pick one and we'll return the other two," I said. "Open them all and check them all out," I said.

And he did. One by one. The green one was left in the dust at the very beginning and never seemed part of the discussion (even with its 4 wheels).





The blue one was very cool, inside and out.






It was cute how he opened them all while they were standing up in the hallway. I told him to feel free to lay them all down and even try pulling them. Gotta get the feel of them, you know.







But the red one seemed a bit cooler, maybe, because of all the outside pockets.



"See how many there are, G'ma!"

OK. Decisions, decisions. The blue one has 4 wheels and can move around every which way. But the red one has only 2 wheels. If it had 4, he'd choose it, hands down. BUT it doesn't come with 4 wheels...not that design.

So I told him to sleep on it! And when Donica comes home today from NYC, maybe she can help him decide. He likes that idea.

In the meantime, Donica's not thinking about suitcases! She bought us tickets to go see the Braves against the Mets tonight at our Atlanta baseball stadium. I think he'll have to sleep on the suitcase decision another night, because it'll be late when we get back home. But who cares, right?! YAY.
