I was at Target a few weeks ago with Jack and Xander looking for some baskets for my bookcase. As I was browsing the basket aisle Jack got bored and wandered away, returning before I had a chance to worry, carrying a new set of sheets. He informed me just how awesome they would look in his room and that he's never had Cars 2 sheets. He asked if he could have them and at first I told him no, but then I reminded him he had enough birthday/Christmas money and could buy them himself if that's what he really wanted to spend it on. He really wanted them, and was being sweet and well behaved, not whiney and demanding, so I paid for them and he came home and paid me back.
He was SUPER excited to sleep in them and seems to take great pride in the fact that he picked them out and paid for them himself. It's the cutest dang thing ever!
It wasn't until I had a good look at the sheets and decided that they would match his room and bedding that I relented and let him buy them, and now I actually like them. They coordinate well in his room, aren't too tacky, are mostly hidden under his plaid comforter, and will always remind me of my cute boy and one of his first real "grown-up" decisions.
