Making a list, checking it twice!

By Collin

For Christmas I want:

a real Pokemon with powers

a giant robot dinosaur

a huge playset for outside

star wars action figures

light saber

Indiana Jones whip

a disco ball

battery powered Polaris Ranger

Hulk Smash Hands

Police man set (So I can cop you)

Nerf Gun (plus Nerf Wii game)

cars and motorcycles

and on and on and on!

Okay, Collin has been working overtime circling everything he likes in my magazines. These are just a few of the things he's circled. He keeps saying, "I like that...I'm gonna get it!" Does he think mom and dad are made of money??

He also circled some stuff I wasn't expecting.

For example:

dancing alarm clock
custom kids robe
white Santa gloves
sheer drawstring gift bags
bean bag chair with his name on it
guitar ornaments
chocolate fudge
mushroom garden chimes
lighted cathedral
sports car rug
his own guitar
half yard tall beer glass

In his defense I don't think he knew what that last one was! He just likes different glasses and cups. (He gets that from his mama.) I think he has definitely caught the Christmas fever bug. Now I just need to sit down with him and explain that Christmas is also about giving and celebrating Christ's birth. Maybe that will help in his circling rampage to realize that it's not all about him and presents.

I did order him his disco ball though. Shhhh...he has been wanting one for a couple years now. Don't ask me why but I have finally given in.
