WINNER!

we had dinner at red robin tonight and to get graham past all the games in the front i promised him we would play the smurf claw game before we left.  i know how impossible these games are, so i didn't want to get his hopes up too much.  as i was putting the quarters into the game i proceeded to tell graham not to press the button right away, that you had to line it up and then press it.  literally right after the money was in and the claw started moving he presses the button.  i'm thinking to myself...here come the water works because he won't win.

NO!!!!

it's as if it happened in slow motion.  he moved the claw, pressed the button, the button went down, grabbed the smurf and didn't let go!!!  i was sure it would drop as it was being carried to the chute..but NO!  

DUDE WON THE CLAW GAME ON HIS VERY FIRST  TRY!!!

this mom is amazed at his luck!

all the way home all he wanted to do was call daddy and tell him he won a brainy smurf.  

we have one proud little man on our hands.
