G has been looking through Toys R Us catalogs since they came out this year. She's been going through them with pens and pencils circling all the things she wants Santa to bring her this year. She has been getting so big lately, it's hard to see a four year old when I look at her. She is very smart for her age, and enjoys doing lots of things on her own. Very independent! So far she has asked for a new bicycle, a guitar, a dinosaur, a fijit (it's like a dancing robot), some Barbie dolls, etc. I want nothing more than to give her everything she wants, but sometimes too much stuff is really too much!
I'm trying to keep everything within reason. A new bicycle makes sense. Her last one was a tricycle. She loves riding it around, but will have more fun on this new bike she picked out. It has training wheels and a little basket on the front for a dolly. I don't know where she came up with the idea for a guitar, but I thought "why not". The one they had was for a fairly good price, and it has the chords lettered so she knows where to put her fingers. Hopefully she can play that better than her recorder, oy! I also got her some interactive video games to go to the Kinect system. I think she's gonna get a kick out of them. One is "Once Upon a Monster" and she gets to play with the Sesame Street characters. The other one is "Kinectimals". I don't really know a whole lot about that game, but I'm sure she'll love it.
I also decided that I need to buy presents for my niece and nephews that live back East. I think my niece will enjoy what I got her, but I have no idea what to get for the boys. Then there are my nieces and nephews out here that I have to buy for. No one is telling anyone what the kids want! It's insane. I really don't like buying gift cards for Christmas. Also I ordered my mother's gift tonight. I'm so excited! I think she is gonna get a kick out of it, and hopefully use it. The dollar signs just keep adding up and up!
Honestly, though, I think that as long as G gets everything she wants for Christmas, that will be enough of a gift for me. Well that and those boots that I've had my eye on!
Next time: Aren't we supposed to lead by example?
