Wishing Well

Saturday Dylan closed his little eyes tightly while rubbing a penny in his right hand and made a wish. He then threw his penny into a wishing well and smiled. I just had to ask him what he wished for to which he replied, "I wished for a playground in my back yard."

By a playground he means a swing set with a slide. Slides are the same to a three year old boy as a recliner is to a 30 year old man-child.

Later that night I got him to repeat his wish to Hubby. He let Dylan know that if he was a good boy Santa may bring him one for Christmas. He thought hard for a few seconds and said, "He can't fit a playground in his bag."

Touche.

Keep your eyes peeled--we got ours from Creative Playthings http://www.creativeplaythings.com/ in Raleigh and it included installation. That was a wonderful thing--it took those guys all morning to put that monster together!! It also has a 10 year warranty which the cheapies at Walmart don't have. I've had several friends buy the one from Walmart and it falls apart about 3 years later and they end up having to buy somehting else. We decided to splurge up front and not have to replace it every 3 years.
