Turtle Days

90% of the time I love living in town. We can walk to the park or the playground, ride bikes to magic wand and it only takes 3 minutes to get to church.
BUT
Not this weekend, it's Turtle Days so my son started obsessing about the fair on Sunday after church when he noticed the trailers pulling into town. I literally had to drive him through the park to see that none of the rides are assembled and he's not missing it yet. Of course, he can see the park from our street and he's watching the progress like a hawk. Yesterday, I endured 2 meltdowns and incessant references to "the fair". Here is just a sampling:
"We go to the fair"
"I ride the Ferris wheel"
"I will play the ducky game"
"Bart Simpson will play the water game"
"Let's go to the fair"
"We'll go to the fair on Wednesday"
"Wednesday"
"Fair"

Now, just repeat those comments about 50 times each, with greater intensity and you get the picture.

I really shouldn't complain, it's wonderful to have him excited about it. Honestly, all the other kids are excited too, just not OBSESSIVE! I'll be sure to update regarding how it all goes in the end. Keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't freak out when it leaves town!
