Today, I told my son that IF he wanted, and ONLY if HE wanted, I would sign him up for a Triathlon as his "big gift" from my Aunt. She had sent money for the kids Christmas. I looked around my apartment and decided that it would be better to give the children an EXPERIENCE rather than give them a THING.
Based on his reaction (I really should have filmed it, I had NO idea it would be THAT level) I would say that I chose wisely.
He is SO excited...
I am SO excited...

That's awesome!!! So many relatives asked what they should get our oldest and I said money towards gymnastics lessons...she certainly doesn't need more stuff!!
The older my kids get, the more I appreciate experiences vs. things. And he is going to rock it :)
That is so awesome!!! Both of you will have so much fun "training"!!!!
What a great idea! There have actually been studies that haven proven that it's better to spend your money on experiences than on stuff!
