Santa Claus is Coming to Town
There better be less shouting and pouting soon.
We are in full on Christmas mode here and we can't wait! The letter has been sent this morning and the order has been placed.
This year we are all about Paw Patrol thanks to YouTube Kids and the big request is a Paw Patroller. There is just a small problem: we don't know what this is.
We hope it's this because I'm pretty sure that is what she's getting.
Also it was only 20 bucks, so there is that. There's also $100 options on Amazon and that's not happening because: money.
She also asked for some paw patrol figures as well because after a brief hiatus with the paw patrol, we are back in the thick of the paw patrol imagination land, and you can’t get enough of the paw patrol.
Any bath toy or any other toy becomes paw patrol in her little head. It doesn’t matter what it is, it’s now a paw patrol character.
She's actually pretty good with the toys and for the most part could care less about toys. We can walk through Target and she likes to look at them but she doesn't need to bring one home with her. I wish I could say the same when I walk past the Starbucks.
It's funny, as last year she just wanted an excavator toy. I'm not sure where she locked on to the excavator but it's all she wanted. Santa was a little confused as most little girls want pink stuff like princess stuff but not her. She wanted that excavator, dammit and Santa better come through. 1
Now, about the screaming and pouting: we have to work on that apparently because as soon as she gets tired she's a dumpster fire. And there's no calming her down. The best solution seems to be to let her be and she has to learn to sort itself out on her own. She can deal with her screaming - not us.
I told her that I have an direct line to Santa and that if she doesn't get her act together I can call him and he can skip our house. 2 She better get her act together.
So. Christmas. It's coming and I think that this is the perfect year for this to happen: She's old enough to get the idea, but not old enough to ask for something specific that's the toy of the year and sold out everywhere.
Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I think the holidays will be perfect this year.
