A Letter of Thanks
Dear Santa,
Thank You so much for getting the kids exactly what they asked for this Christmas. I know times are lean. They didn’t get as much stuff as in previous years, which is understandable, but they did get exactly what they told you they wanted when they visited you as Bass Pro Shop.
Boogie is elated with his Nintendo DS, the fact that it is red with the Mario M makes it all the cooler. He carries it with him everywhere he goes and it has made car rides rather quiet which is never a bad thing.
Puddin Pop (and her brother) adore the Baby Alive potty training doll and feed it regularly, like 5 times a day. She is very loved. She eats and drinks, pees and poops, talks, sings and plays. What 2 year old could resist that?
When a 2 year old requests a doll that will urinate and poop, often missing the toilet and leaking through her diaper, please make sure that said child and her sibling will take care of the doll. Make sure she is old enough to change a diaper, clean the potty and do more than feed it and walk away. This makes Mommy feel like she has 3 kids. I don’t, for a reason. You may also want to package the doll with more than one spare diaper as the one she was wearing leaked all over my leg with the first feeding. Two packets of food were plenty for me, but lasted the older children only minutes as they really had to see the difference between banana poop and pea poop.
The baby is now sleeping and the children have been warned not to wake her until they are willing to change her diaper and clean out her potty. I have 3 toilets to clean already and do not need a fourth. I’m thinking she’ll be sleeping for quite some time.
Thanks again for everything,
Mommyto2
