The Yard Sale Fairy

Last weekend, it was time, again, for our annual yard sale. This year, we included Chad (not for sale, just his stuff). Giovanni was so excited, although I'm pretty sure he had no idea what a yard sale was. He was walking around all Friday saying, "It's for my yard sale? For my birthday?! For my party?!?" I really don't know how he associated a yard sale with his birthday (which is not until April) and a party, but he did. He WOULD NOT go to bed Friday night, he was so wound up. So, finally, at 10:30 Ryan told him, "You better go to bed or the Yard Sale Fairy won't come." It worked! He went right to bed. Saturday morning he woke up at 6 a.m. with the same enthusiasm. No matter how many times we explained it to him, throughout the whole yard sale, Gio kept asking, "Where's my yard sale?" Oh, well. We tried.
