Could You Say No?

I mean, really, could you say “no” to these big blue eyes?  The sales clerk at pottery barn kids asked me that very question.  And the answer at that moment, was no… I could not say “no”.  I took Sawyer with me yesterday to get the quilt I was just dreaming of last weekend… remember this one?
<em>Star Wars</em>™ X-wing™ & TIE Fighter™ Quilted BeddingPin
Well I had a very busy week, made some sales and booked several custom orders, so I was ready!  We had a special Mommy and Sawyer afternoon, complete with a trip to the Lego store to use of the rest of a Christmas gift card, which he used on a Star Wars Lego set- and bless him, he chose one of the smallest sets that was only $12, and not much after his gift card!  And I just need to add that the best part of all, was holding my son’s hand and not because he was trying to run away and be funny, but because we were just happy to be together just him and me.  We walked through the mall, holding hands and chatting the whole time.
After the Lego store, we headed next door to pottery barn kids, and found the quilt.  I had it in my arms and was headed to the register to pay, when I noticed they had a display of all their quilts.  On that display was the twin sized version of the Millenium Falcon Quilt, which looks like this…
<i>Star Wars™</i> <em>Millennium Falcon</em>™ Quilted BeddingPin
I knew it was clearanced online, but they had been out of twin size.  I asked the girl how much it was, and I had seen they had one sham left as well which was in the clearance area… This twin quilt was $139.99 and on top of that she was going to give me a 10 percent discount as it was a floor model.  I asked Sawyer which he liked better, and I tried to convince him that he liked the Millenium Falcon better as it would have saved me a total of about $60.  But he didn’t like it as much.  He really wanted the X-Wing quilt, and I can’t say I blame him as it is much cooler and the color is much better.  But I tried.  But he looked at me with his big blue eyes, and said he liked the X-Wing better.  What was a mom to do?  After all, I had planned on getting the more expensive one, and this awesome deal had just thrown me for a loop.  So he got his way…

    You know that Sawyer already had me with those eyes and long eyelashes. You made the right decision. Think of how much crap we waste $60 on, on a daily basis. At least this went towards something you use every day and Sawyer will never forget the awesome day he had with his mom!

    Take care,
    Lisa

    This is why I never show Charlie the PB catalog…I just ask for favorite colors and animals ;)! Last year he was diggin’ on light purple with turquoise polka dots…don’t ask! Needless to say I put that design idea off until he changed his mind! But no I definitely couldn’t say no to that adorable face or my son’s!

    I am going to guess that it was worth the $60 to see him happy. My son and I have had many afternoons like yours and even now that he is 20 years old we are very close. Good stuff to look forward to.

    You crack me up! I think the quilt looks spectacular in his room. And the other mom was right, you’ll remember that day every time you walk into his room. I am looking forward to seeing how his room evolves. Now I need to get my butt in gear with Luca’s room. I look like a slacker next to you.

    Happy Valentine’s Day!

    Aw, good for you, mommy! He does have the best, most enticing, blue eyes. I feel for you my friend. I see a lot of “how can you say no” situations in your future.

    BTW, Sawyer is a great name.

    No, I could not say “NO”, Not ever. He’s so cute, Cassie! Enjoy holding his hand~my boys wouldn’t do that once they turned 5. Both times were very sad days for me.
    The quilt looks good! Even if it wasn’t the deal the other one was.
