The Birthday Presents…
For his birthday my parents got Eric a game for his Game Cube and this really cool lava lamp thing for his bedroom. He really likes it alot. He also got some money from a couple of his friends and some lego starwars sets. My aunt got him a lego starwars set also. (My son is really into lego starwars right now.) I got him 2 small lego starwars sets that I let him open up on his actual birthday, which was Wednesday, and I also got him this double movie Ghostbusters thing. It has Ghostbusters 1 and 2. The reason I got that for him is because I always hear him in his room listening to the ghostbusters song on youtube, and I knew he’d never seen either movie. I also know what kind of movies he likes, so I knew he’d love it. I was right. He watched both Ghostbusters 1 and 2 tonight and actually fell asleep with the little boolet that came with the movies in his hand. It was too cute, I should have snapped a picture.
I also got him an mp3 player. He had one from last Christmas but it was an inexpensive one, cause I hadn’t wanted to spend alot on it because I wanted to see how responsible he’d be with it or if he’d even use it. Well, he used it every single day and it eventually stopped working (because it was cheap). I was able to take it apart and fix it, it was cheaply put together and some piece inside wasn’t connected very well. It worked for a few more months then another piece inside disconnected and I was unable to fix that piece. He asked if he could use my mp3 player until he got a new one, so every day he’s been taking my mp3 player with him to school. He listens to it on the way to and from school as well as anytime we go anywhere. He specifically asked for a new mp3 player for his birthday, also.
I was going to get him the Creative Zen Mozaic. (I have a Zen V and it’s absolutely wonderful.) However, I couldn’t find any in any stores when I went looking, so I settled on getting him a Philips Mp3 player. It’s super nice and plays not only all audio formats, but plays videos and stores photos as well. It also has a radio on it. My Mp3 player doesn’t even have that. He’s already transferred all his favorite songs that he had store on his computer over to his mp3 player. He loves it. I’m glad. Making him happy makes me happy.
Anyway, sorry for the huge posts about the kiddos birthday, but it only happens once a year so I figure you guys don’t mind reading these big ole long posts as long as I don’t make them a habit.
