Kids are wonderful.  One of the best things about them is how easy it can be to make their day.  Even the simplest of gestures can go a long way with children.

The other day I was just browsing and happened upon a cool and affordable shirt that I knew my 3-year old boy would love.  Right now he is in a robot phase; he loves all things robots.  He draws them; he builds them with LEGOs; he pretends to be one.  He is a robot fanatic.  So then I saw this cool robot shirt and I imagined the look on his face and his delight at having this shirt.  Now, I am not usually one to make a purchase without much thought and consideration, but this was a relatively small purchase that would bring him so much joy that I went ahead an bought it without waiting another minute.

And sure enough, he was ecstatic when he saw a package in the mail for him.  And when we opened it he was beside himself with excitement.  Of course, he wanted to wear it right away!

It’s been about one week since he got that shirt, but he asks to wear it every day.

What a small price to pay for a child’s delight.
