Today was a super-relaxed day. In the morning, Arthur did some experimentation with his solar cars; they really take a beating, as they flew off the porch and onto the sidewalk, which is about 5-6 feet from the ground. After Skyping with grama and talking to great-grama on the phone, we ran some errands. We went to the library, since we finished Charlotte’s Web yesterday and a bunch of Clifford books that we checked out on Monday. When we went to check out, Arthur told Miss Kelly how we were going to get him a new train because he had Easter money and tooth fairy money. I mentioned how this was burning a hole in his pocket, and Arthur looked at his pants and said, “But there’s no holes in my pockets!”.
We went to the dreaded Walmart for a train, and after much deliberation he picked out the only Talking Gordon. After getting home, it didn’t work… of course, that’s what I get for shopping there. After returning it, he chose to get Emily instead, and all was well.
