Is it “the valum-times day?”
Yes, Henry, yes it is. After waking up and wishing him a happy Valentine’s Day, he asked what it was for. I said that it’s a day where you show people you love how much you love them. He then proceeded to ask if there were presents and I nodded. “Where’s mine?!” “Well, it’s usually something sweet like flowers or a card.” To which Alice chimed in “my don’t want that, my want tandy!” After the meltdown when I said there was no candy, we proceeded to eat an unhappy breakfast followed by kids who wanted stuff. I gifted Michael a new wallet so he gave Henry his old one, complete with “credit cards” and you would’ve thought he got the moon!!!! He ran upstairs to get pants with a pocket so he could put his wallet in them. One of the cards was a gift card to Cracker Barrel so he immediately said “I know where we’re going for luuunnncchhh!! And I’m paying!” So we went and did school and when I ask them to go get ready to leave they whine and gripe and fuss. Today he shot down the stairs, readied himself and ran home and waited by the back door to go. About an hour later he was so happy!
