Birthday
Leo's birthday party is planned for Saturday. Its going to be at an indoor playground with 10 of his friends. There would be more kids attending had it not been for one of his classmates also having a birthday party on the same day. But that's okay - he's still going to have a great time.
Funny how winter birthdays kinda limit you to what you can do. One of Leo's friends was born in August, and they had a pool party last year. Another friend was born in June. And although she had a bowling party last year, the month of June still allows more choices.
I asked Leo what he wanted for his birthday - he said a NASCAR cake. And more 'NASCARs'. A few weeks ago he was asking for NASCAR trucks as he saw a video of them on the computer. That's it - all NASCAR. So, he's gonna get what he wants. But NASCAR parties for 5-year-olds aren't that easy to plan. I found some NASCAR-themed party favor bags, but no favors. And they had plates, cups and napkins, but those are already going to be supplied by the indoor playground. But I found a #5 small NASCAR to put on his cake, so that made me happy, as it will Leo I'm sure.

Remote Control
So now Leo knows the wonders of remote control vehicles! We were at Tighe's 3rd birthday (son of Jenn, a co-worker of mine) on Saturday and Tighe got a number of new remote control construction trucks. Leo watched him play with them for a while, then asked me if he could try. I told him to ask Tighe, who immediately said, "No, they're mine!" Tighe's daddy Al stepped in and got Tighe to agree to let Leo try one of the trucks - a front-end loader. Leo spent the next half hour running the truck back and forth and lifting the front scoop up and down. He was so absorbed he had tuned everything else out. Luckily he had already had his cake and we were finished with swimming. I got Leo to give it up when Tighe finally asked for the front-end loader back. Al joked that I now needed to stop at Toys R Us to get one for Leo.
So where did I find myself on Saturday night? Why, Toys R Us of course! Unfortunately, they were out of the front-end loaders, and the excavators they had looked really cheap so I ended up not buying one. But next weekend I'm going to head out to a different Toys R Us in search of the front-end loader.
