We Can Buy It Today, Daddy!

"We can buy it today, Daddy!"

Those excited words came while Sabina and the twins were watching a show. Uh-oh, I thought, I let them see a commercial.

I was right, Sabina had seen an advertisement for Barbie Island Princess, and she was excited because they told her we could buy it today! I explained that we weren't going shopping just then, but perhaps she could ask for it for Christmas. This was a very popular idea, so she instantly started using her newfound ability to write to compose a Christmas gift wish list. She invited input from the twins as well. Here is what they came up with:

Sabina

• Barbie Island Princess movie (Ilind Prisses Moove as she wrote)
  
• Barbie Princess Rapunzel (doll I suppose, need to check if she already has this)
  
• Toy Table and Toy Stove ("that I can cook real food in!")
• More Barbies
  

Calvin

• Car with a Roof - he's got a red remote control convertible, he wants one with a roof.
  
• Firetruck
  
• Toy airplane that comes apart, bigger than the one he already has
  

Mikaela

• toy instrument (drum)
  

All

• Tinkertoys
• Umbrellas
• 3 Candy Canes
• 3 pumpkins
• Christmas Decorations

She finished off with:

I wil lev sum coocees owt. I love you
