Diego Briefs Were Just the Beginning

Today we added Kung Fu Panda briefs and boxer briefs to the list.

Today we went to Target to rethink some of the stuff our new four year old may really want/need. Something about seeing what he looks like at age four (and the measurements they sent us) made us anxious to go back and do more shopping. So, with oodles of gift cards in hand, we marathoned through Target once more. The mission: to find enough suitcase friendly toys to keep a 4 year old busy for 10 days in a hotel room. Cringe!

Aside from the aforementioned briefs, we also picked up: a memory card game with hysterical cows on it, an inflatable beach ball and a large koosh-like ball for throwing around the room, play-doh to hypnotize him on the airplane (we're keeping fingers crossed on that one Ashleigh), some Thomas and Elmo DVD's and a 2GB flash drive that he is just going to love (oh yeah, that's for me). And of course a little stuffed panda that we plan on taking to China with us. Mr. Panda is super-psyched about his trip to his homeland so be sure to look for cameos of Mr Panda in random places around China once we get there. Not an original idea, I know (cough...sanzones...), but it's something we're looking forward to regardless. I mean, how many times do you get to take goofy pictures in China? Unless you're Chinese, not many.

(BTW, watching the Olympics now as I type reminds me...did anyone catch the comment last night during the opening ceremonies about China being all one timezone? Eh?! Just remember, you heard it here first!)

I don't know if anybody else finds this minutia very interesting, but hey, there's not much exciting about getting up and going to work every day. Especially, when the most exciting thing about the day is the traffic at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel.

So, stay tuned and thanks for going on the journey with us...

Can't wait to meet you, little dude!
