Elmo

Tonight, Wesley went with two coworkers to the All-You-Can-Eat Lobster night at a local restaurant. While he was gorging himself on 12 (yes, 12!!) lobsters, the boys and I hit up Chick-fil-a for Kids' Night.

We enjoyed a tasty dinner and then waited for 20 minutes for a balloon animal. I debated whether we were going to stand in line to wait, but the clown was producing some pretty impressive creations so I decided to chance a meltdown by Philip so that Jackson could get a balloon.

As we waited I asked Jackson what he wanted. He had seen this clown make monkeys, Spidermans, even Ariel, but his response was a black puppy or a sword. Seriously? I explained to Jackson that if we were going to wait this long for a balloon it needed to be something other than the two things his DaDa could make! There was no changing his mind. He was set on either a black puppy or a sword.

Oh well, what ever makes him happy!

We got up to the front and the clown noticed that both he and Jackson had an Elmo shirt on. Jackson loved that so upon prompting from the clown and me, he asked for an Elmo balloon.

And the clown delivered! Wow! What talent!

It wasn't All-You-Can-Eat Lobster, but it was a fun night out with the boys!
