I Never Believed Other Moms When They Said

When other moms said, "my kids always tell me they want that toy on the tv advertisement." I never believed it. I don't know why.



I work for Pepsi, so I pay attention in the news when they say kids are impacted by advertisements, but again, didn't believe it,or guess I never thought i would have a kid who would be influenced.



Well, i was wrong. And I am sure there are other things that I have already done that I swore I would never do or that my kids would never do.



Every freaking morning, Elle is like "mommy mommy come here" in this frantic voice. All turns out to be something she wanted to show me on TV. And heaven forbid i miss the product advertisement, she breaks down in a fit.



So, we have started making a list and everytime she sees one thing she likes, we write it down for Santa. This is what she looked like before school today, begging me for some gerbil or hamster roller coaster thing, called Zhu Zhu Pets. Does anyone know what these are? She just kept saying "this is it, this is it."
We are painting the living room/dining room. The girls were helping with the priming. They actually did really good. They were great help.
Also, today is a big day... It's TOMMY's first Birthday. Can you even beilve that 1 year ago today, he was just 1 lb 13 oz... and it looked like a very scary road ahead. I am going to his party next weekend and can't wait!

I get mini-updates from Melissa because Lucy is also in MDUMC's daycare. They LOVE it!! Your girls are looking as as sweet as ever. I can't wait to see them in person again...hopefully soon!!
