Today, John bought James new inner tubes for his bike. About a month ago, James punched two holes in each of his tire bikes. For weeks we tried to get James to, one, admit he did it and, two, tell us why he did it. We eventually let it go.
Today, as we checked out at Target, inner tubes on the conveyor belt, we explained to James his bike would be fixed. "Ohhhh maaaan" He was disappointed. The truth was about to be spoken. "I thought I was going to get a new bike." He explained.
Finally, James admitted he deliberately poked holes in his tires in hopes of getting a new bike. James just experienced a reality check and I can only laugh at his attempts to get a new bike. That's my boy.

At the end of the day, I have to admit, James is a wise child. He may try to pull one over on us occasionally but he makes up for it in other ways. He helped me do laundry and counted quarters today. It's always a treat to do laundry with James. However, his biggest accomplishment today was bringing me a beautiful flower. No matter what James accomplishes in his life, he will always succeed at putting a smile on his mom's face.
