My ILs are in NH too…the storm knocked their power out for a bit. We figured it was karma because they’d teased us about our early storms here in CO.

My 4 year old also wants everything she sees in a commercial. My 6 year old wants everything VicTORIous and Barbie. I’m just glad the baby is too young to know what’s going on. lol

That’s funny that your little boy wants everything that he sees, regardless if it’s a barbie, lol. Christmas is going to be tricky this year for us. We will have to buy a lot of duplicates as my boys are about 2 years apart and fight over EVERYTHING right now.

Yeah, I said they could make their list but they were guaranteed not to get everything on the list. I reserved the right to pick!

So commercials are the new catalog? I’m old, I remember looking through the big Sears Wish Book making my list.

I think it helps some kids to give them a number, my son can put ten items on his list, for example. For some kids it might be a higher or a lower number, but if you have or know a child that will give you fifty items on a list, a number is a good way to start.

You can also have them make their own lists for what they want to give other people, family and friends, even if the items won’t be bought or given, to help them think more about others.
