I know. I know. It's been a while. A girl gets busy. What can I say? While you work on forgiving me, I'll tell you a little story about my soon to be 6-year-old.
Hubs is out of town so the 6-year-old slept with me last night. This will only work a little while longer as the 2-year-old is starting to catch on to this routine and soon I'll have two little monsters trying to beat me to death in my sleep.
Any who, the 6-year-old woke up this morning mid-sentence telling me he wants the game "Operation" for his birthday. His birthday is a little over a month away. He's been talking about it for the last two months. Telling me daily what he wants for his birthday.
Essentially, the items on his wish list include all toys sold in a store, advertised in catalogs or on television...that aren't pink. We received the Toys R Us toy catalog in the mail several weeks ago and he goes through it every day circling new toys with each passing day and telling me how amazing and how much he wants all of these items.
The hubby and I have tried explaining to him that he is not going to get every item he circled in the catalog for his birthday. His reply:
"I know. I'll get some of these things for my birthday, some for Christmas and the rest for Easter."
Oh, the joys of having no concept of money. What a blissful world that must be.
Later, in the car on the way to school he was talking about his birthday party.
Cody: "I want a Lego Batman birthday party."
Me: "What do you do at a Lego Batman birthday party."
Cody: "There will be legos out on the tables and everyone has to build something as fast as they can."
Me: "Oh, that sounds like fun." (sarcasm)
Cody: "Then they will have to bring what they made to me so I can see if they are good enough."
Me: "Sounds to me like you'll be asking for friends for your 7th birthday."
