sk8r boy

AJ has been asking for a skateboard..... Averil's song popped into my head round about the 20th time he asked for this... hence the title although I believe it is boi in her title???? I'm so outdated! We started giving him a $1 for doing a good job of getting ready for bed and having a happy day. I didn't think a ton about it, but he loves it! We have only been doing it for 3 weeks, but ever since he was about a year he would collect coins.... Money was one of his first words. So for the past 4 years everytime Mark empties change out of his pocket or he hears change in my purse he takes it and puts it in his bank. Last night he asked me how much money he had because he wanted to buy that skateboard. Nothing before this, expect a rocket that he only asked for about 4 days, was been worthy of spending his money. That kid had well over $20 in that little bank. Who knew! I was suprised and he was estatic and wanted to go to the store right then and get it, but thankfully it worked out that we could wait for today (: I asked him if I could take a picture and this is what he did....

(I just wonder what he is thinking.....)

I realize his bedding doesn't match his curtains, but we are trying to figure out what to do.... he still wants to paint his walls black and his closet tan....
