Today was speech day. After every speech session Jocelyn wants to go to Chick Fil A. We pass it on the way home. I can't get her to forget about the place! Today I gave in and said YES (thanks mom for the gift card--it helped with my decision). After lunch, and playing, and ice cream for dessert, Jocelyn spotted the other kids getting balloons. She wanted one too. We went over to get one and Jocelyn insisted on getting one for Reagan as well (she's such a nice big sister). The lady asked her what colors she wanted and Jocelyn picked out yellow for herself and green for Reagan. I just knew she was going to pick out those two colors. We had a similar problem at PALS the week before the AFC championship game when she wanted to color her football player Jets green. No way! Not happening!
Normally, I would allow her free reign of choice, but not today when it came down to these two colors. Not this weekend anyway. I very calmly looked down at my beautiful daughter (who was dressed in black and gold), and then looked at the lady and said, "I don't think Daddy will be very happy with green and yellow balloons floating around in his house!" Thank goodness the lady, was also adorned in black and gold, and agreed with me completely. Jocelyn picked out two new colors without a fuss. Blue and Orange. So what if they are Broncos colors? They aren't' in the Super Bowl!
