Christmas Gift

Timmy's school held Christmas celebration after the school holiday.
The parents were asked to buy gift of their choice for their kids, wrap it and submit it to school. Santa would then distribute it to the kids.

We thought of buying a toy car for Timmy, since he's so into cars now.
So we went to the toy store, asked him which one would he prefer and asked him to make a wish. Didn't buy it when he was there. Timmy chose an orange Lamborghini Gallardo.

I then took Timmy out of the store while Benny made the purchase.
It was suppose to be a surprise for him.
Benny has specially wrapped it in double black plastic, put it in empty seat.

We wanted Timmy to learn how to wait...to have hope... for wishes to come true...

But...

Apparently he found out!

Oh boy...oh boy! hahahaha...
Oopsss...

His face was so delighted when he found it.
Timmy: Hah? Gallardo? Wow...Kok bisa? Yippeee...

Oh...the secret is no longer a secret. Hahahaha..
I thought might as well wrap it together with him.

Tim: Why do you wrap it Mom? Who is it for?
Me: For you.
Tim: For me? Then why do you wrap it?
Me: Because this suppose to be a Christmas gift that we should submit to school. The school will then give it to Santa, then Santa will give it to you.
Tim: Hah? So complicated. Might as well give it to me now....
(Hahahahaha.... I like his logic).
Me: Is that what you want?
Tim: Yes.
Me: But, if you get it now, and if your friends get presents from Santa, you won't get any. Are you sure you want it that way?
Tim: No.
Me: Ok. If that's the case, then let's wrap it and submit it to school. You'll get it on the 7th of January 2011. You'll have to wait for a few days.
Tim: OK Mom.

We ended up wrapping it together. Timmy helped me to cut the sticky tape, cut the wrapping paper. :) In the end, we had fun as well.

Timmy told his other cars, "Mazda RX-8, you will have new friend, Lamborghini Gallardo, but we need to wrap it first. Give it to school and Santa will give it to me. I'll see Gallardo again on the 7th January."

On the THE day, he was excited to go to school.
And by the time we picked him up, the wrapping was gone! Hahahaha...
