blessed boy

I got a telephone call this morning from the counselor at Desi's school.  At first, I was a little afraid that he was sick or hurt, but she quickly allayed that concern.  She called to tell me that Desi's name was drawn to win a bicycle!  The school is having a fundraiser selling coupon books and they hold a drawing each week of all the students who sell books.  I bought a book last week and Desi's name was drawn this morning.  

Yes, he just got a new bike for his birthday earlier this month.  When I mentioned that to the counselor, she offered a gift card in it's place.  I told her it would be up to Des, feeling confident that he would not want another bike.  Wrong.  He wanted the bike.  Mrs. M asked what size he would need and I told her the size up from his current bike.  So, when I picked him up from school this afternoon, we had to visit Mrs. M's room and pick up his bike.  She took a picture and said to be looking for it in the local newspaper this week.

We'll let him ride it around a little, then probably put it away until it fits him better.  

Blessed boy.
