Turbo at the Racetrack

Are you wondering which one is Turbo? My family has affectionately nicknamed Alex "Turbo." And he lived up to his name this past weekend. Alex has been begging me to take him to the racetrack (Putt-Putt), so he can drive race cars (go-karts) for months. This Putt-Putt is up in Hurst and you can see it from the freeway as you drive through Hurst. So every time we drive up there (I like the mall up there), he asks me if we can go. So I finally told him we'd go for his birthday. And then I roped my parents into going with me because it's not something I could do on my own without help with Addison. Alex was in turbo heaven! He rode with my mom the first time around. And I think he was a little nervous. When he got off, he told my mom it was a little scary. That didn't stop him from going again though! Honestly, I'm not sure who had more fun, my mom or Alex. Such a fun time to make his birthday wish come true!The second time around, he wanted to ride with Grandma again. I think my Dad was afraid Alex hurt my feelings by not wanting to ride with me. I wasn't hurt at all! I'm just so happy that Alex loves his Grandma and wants to spend time with her. My parents are moving to Chicago soon and I'm happy that he's had this time to spend with them. I can go to the race track with him any time!

I think Alex loved the racetrack. He's already asking me when he can go back again. And this just kicked off a week of celebrating Alex's 5th birthday. More to come soon!
