For almost a year, Josiah has been saving to buy a Nintendo Switch. He started with some already saved money, saved every dollar he was given and did some work for his parents. For Christmas, he asked Grandma and Grandpa to give him money as his gift. He didn't know how much he would be given, but he was pretty sure he would be close. Josiah had also decided on an amount he was willing to take out of his savings account.
Josiah opened his gift, did some mental math and burst into tears. Aliza almost immediately had tears streaming down her face. He got it out that he would just need to take $20 out of his savings account to get the Switch. And then more tears.
Uncle Joel pulled $20 out of his wallet and handed it to Josiah. More tears.
Josiah savored his accomplishment for 24 hours and then was ready to go to Best Buy to buy his Nintendo Switch....with his Daddy and Uncle Joel.
I asked for a picture! I may have been the mushy hearted Mom feeling like I was missing a big moment, but knowing that this one was only for Josiah and his Dad.
And a Tropical Smoothie to celebrate!
I'll tell you being at home with Josiah's sisters was pretty sweet too. They were both on pins and needles waiting for him to get home. Anna was crying--she was SO happy for her brother. Aliza stayed up late with Josiah watching him play--with a big grin on her face. I heard lots of happy talking and laughing between those two while I tucked Anna and Isaiah in bed.
