Brooklyn went to school for a special 2 hr Christmas party today, which meant mommy got to get a little extra shopping done. Note my orders to make sure blankie & kitty were in the photo too! She brought home some new holiday pencils, erasers, & a puzzle & Dylan was given a new train.
After school, we went out to Florence Mall to take Dylan to see Santa. Our first sighting of Santa was impromptu @ The Children's Museum. Brooklyn wouldn't sit on his lap & Dylan was sleeping. Up until now, she kept saying she'd send Santa a letter because she didn't want to see him! LOL The only thing she has asked for (Thank You TARGET ads for putting on the front page of everyone of your ads the last few weeks!) was a Dora Kitchen. We tried telling her that she already has a kitchen & that there were so many other things she could ask for. Finally, last night, she realized that mom & dad share a kitchen so it was ok for her & Dylan to share that one. When we asked what she would like instead, she said "a computer!" Finally adding that it should be pink, because she loves pink. In fact, she wanted everything to be pink.
Sooo......back to us standing in line for Santa......we're up next & she's now hiding behind my legs. Dylan, clueless is just staring at Brooklyn. A wonderful elf comes over & asks me her name quietly. Then bends down & asks if her name is Brooklyn. Amazed, she says it is & the elf tells her that Santa has been waiting for her to come. Just like that, she takes the elf's' hand & heads up to Santa, sits on his lap, & when he asks what she would like for Christmas yells "A DORA KITCHEN!! and Dylan needs an Elmo potty seat so he'll stop poopin in his diaper!"
