Good things come to those who wait

Will's birthday/Christmas/trip-to Target list is ever-expanding—there was no shortage of birthday ideas. The problem, as we approached Will's seventh birthday, was that the coveted item at the top of his list hadn't been released yet. So we gave Will a choice: another gift now, or the Clone Turbo Tank when it debuts in August. And he chose the latter.
It was a full month after his birthday when we stormed Target to make the purchase. And I'm pleased to report the wait was quite whine-free, probably because he knew our hands truly were tied.
Was it worth it? It's a unanimous yes!
