now the concern: bean asked santa for baby stuff. she tells everyone that santa is bringing her baby stuff. problem: santa isn't brining her baby stuff! mommy, i mean santa, finished her (his) shopping long before bean ever got the whole baby stuff thing in her head! santa is brining her a basketball hoop, glow in the dark stars (for the ceiling in her big girl room), a coloring book, and a book. no baby stuff!!! my mother-in-law went out and got her baby stuff so she is getting it but not from santa. and she isn't having christmas with grandma until the 27th. my concern is- will she be terribly disappointed? the reason i say this is last year my niece (who was three) asked santa for a shopping cart which my mother had already bought so my sister thought nothing of it. well, christmas morning she opened her gifts from santa (before going to see my mom) and there was no shopping cart. she started crying because santa didn't bring her what she asked for. she was literally heart broken!! i don't want that to happen at my house! ahhhhh! you understand my concern, i'm sure. no one wants to see their kid cry on christmas!!
anyhoo...
this is how i knew that i had to stop waiting for my husband to help me fix the tree and just do it myself:
yes, that is a roll of masking tape in the tree! as well as a silver ribbon, a floating key chain, a ring of plastic keys and there are a few linking letters too. i guess the bean decided that if mommy wasn't going to get out the ornaments that she would have to make her own!!
don't worry, i bought lights yesterday and put them on the tree last night along with most of the decorations. i saved a whole box and the whole bottom of the tree for her to do tonight though!

Hmmm....what if "santa" and MIL swapped presents? since it's all already been bought, maybe you could just reverse who gives which gifts?? It would be a bummer to have a disaspointed Bean on Christmas morning.
So funny about her sitting on Santa's lap AFTER it was all said and done. What a toddler. :o)
Last year E. told everyone that she was getting Butterscotch (that big old stupid horse that is a million dollars) from Santa. She didn't, but totally didn't even realize it or say anything about the Butterscotch horse.
Maybe Bean will be the same? If not you could possibly tell her that Santa knows what everyone else is getting her, too and doesn't want to get the same thing....so maybe somebody else is getting it for her.
(whew! Good thing you know she is getting them!)
I bet she is going to be so excited with the whole thing that she just forgets...I hope!
Way to go Carrie. I used to say that I'd told Santa that Grandma was buying x so he wouldn't need to organize it.
