I said there would be a part two, because I still had another present left for Eddy. That present has come all the way from Japan and I was finally able to give it to him. Thus concluding Christmas on my part, and ensuring that the kids got the one thing that they really wanted, which is good, because they really only got one thing for Christmas this year.

The toy passed through customs and made it to Jo’s door on Tuesday, so really it did not spend that long in customs. I had no idea it was even that close to being delivered, because while I got an update that it was entering customs on the USPS website I did not receive the same sort of notice when it left customs and started heading from Chicago to here. Jo called me when he got the notice that the delivery had been missed, and we decided to meet in Cuyahoga Falls.

We met in the parking lot and moved it from the trunk of his car to the trunk of mine. We went inside and ate. I brought the kids with me. We ate and then parted ways. I went to GameStop, because I wanted to trade in more games, because I have been trading in a great deal of games lately. The guys inside know me and when I told them about the gift they wanted me to go ahead and give it to him there in the GameStop. He was shocked. I wish I had a picture of his expression. Mouth agape and just pure joy.

We brought it home and we assembled it without any problems. The only thing I actually had to do to help really was get the batteries, because they were not included. He was wearing it. He is still wearing it. He has been wearing it every day. I don’t mind as long as he doesn’t take it outside and break it or lose it. I have warned him that people will try and steal it. That seems to be a theme for Akron and I want him to be aware of it. This was a good Christmas.
