need vs. want part 2

Ben has been having lots of struggles taking his shots, especially at night.  It was hard, and extra frustrating for us both because he had been fine with it for weeks.  And it was big, “OK I guess we’ll have to sit on you” struggles.  No fun.  But, people have been praying and he has come around.  So, today I wanted to treat him to something special because it has been great now for several days!  I took him to Fred Meyer and gave him a $5 limit.  OOOO that toy section is hard.  We saw a clearance Lego set, so I went up to $8, but he also saw a little stuffed toy he wanted.  He COULD NOT DECIDE.  It was not a need at all, but a serious want – of both.  He carried them throughout the store while we grabbed some quick groceries and was in tears at the checkout stand doing eenie meenie.  Oh, man,  that is not what I had in mind!  I hoped he would be so happy!  Thankful!  I guess this missionary thing didn’t cure him either.  By the way, he was overjoyed before we got home and is now happily building!
