Worth the Wait

Nolan waited patiently for his gift to arrive in the mail. At every truck engine noise he sprang towards the window to check the streets. Finally on Monday, the brown truck made it's delivery. The problem was that it arrived only half an hour before we had to head out the door for scouts and taekwondo. By the time we got back it was too dark to try out his new gift.
He would have to wait a little longer . . .

All that was on his mind this morning was to go out and climb trees, but you know how it goes: "work before play."

He would have to wait a little longer . . .

We were able to redirect his thoughts towards his school work, which he completed in a very diligent and efficient manner.

And now he is free to roam and climb!

Maybe I will finally be able to string Christmas lights on that huge cedar tree in front of our house. I could never convince Shawn to do it, but looks like Nolan might be up for the task!
