Gotta love my kids

**Dancing Lotus** · 12-11-2008, 07:39 AM

I have asked my daughter several times what she wants for Christmas. The only answer I get is a new hairbrush. She has also mentioned that she wants Pixo's but when I asked her last night she said just a hairbrush. She is 6.

While reading her bed time story she did mention that a new Junie B.Jones book would be nice. ( I already got that covered , and she doesn't know that).

My 3 yr old is a no brainer, she doesn't ever get whats going on. So it looks like my stress is all for nothing. I think I can manage to make all those dreams come true.

I was wondering , what is the weirdest thing your child has ever asked for on a wish list?

One year then 5yo dd asked for socks. This year my 7 yo ds asked Santa to bring his 5yo sister a Barbie. That was all he asked for. Makes me wonder if he knew that would melt my heart and get him better stuff than if he asked, lol.

My DD10 (at the time) asked for a set of sheets last year.

2 yrs ago I brought DS to see Santa with his older cousins. They asked for tv's for their bedrooms, new ipods, etc. He asked for a shirt. Santa said "wow, you're a practical fella, aren't you?". He got the coolest shirt ever from santa!

Although this year he asked for sports related things (Boston College Football rug - he's getting) etc. and ... a doughnut maker because we don't have doughnuts often enough.

So far Wesley has asked for: a box of cereal, a Charles Schwab high yield investor's checking account, preperation H, any and every toy he sees on t.v., the Nuvaring and a red helicopter.

Guess which one he's getting?

BTW Ann, I'm heading to the post office on Friday.

Our son has had weird things on his wish list off and on since he was really little.

The short list -
A Blackhawk helicopter....a REAL one.
His bedtime to be changed to 30 minutes later or he wouldn't go to bed at all until the next Christmas.
A pretty bracelet and ring he seen at a store, which led to DH having the "those are for girls, not boys" talk.
A tin of butter cookies.
A week long trip to the inside of a volcano. (that was on his wish list to Santa when he was 7)

I cann't really say mine have had any "weird" requests HOWEVER my niece who is 6 asked for Zach Efron(sp) from High School Musical. When asked if she meant the doll she replied "uhh, no the real Zach!!"

When my son was 6 he asked for baby back ribs that would be for just him to eat. Needless to say that is what he had for breakfast Christmas morning.

**JustMegan79** · 12-11-2008, 11:03 AM

These are all so cute! My fave so far is Wesley's investment account (smart boy!) and the baby back ribs. Tooooo cute!!!

My five year old wants an accordion. She's getting something similar, but more appropriately sized.

Ann- I just wanted to say what wonderful kids you have.

And Junie B Jones ( don't for get the B) is so cool.

I ask my daughter this year what would be the coolest thing to get for Christmas this year. She didn't hesitate in saying "a Junie B Jones journal". Then she thought and said "Well my girls ( her dolls) NEED pj's. Mom should I go with my want or their need"

So Santa is bring a Junie B Jones Journal. For her Birthday next month, I'll be making Pj's for her girls out of some of her favorite out grown clothes. I think she will be pleasantly surprised all around.

Have a wonderful Chirstmas

This year DD asked for parts to make a robot so she can make one to help me around the house ... I love that kid!

I don't remember what years, but one year she asked for a Christmas tree (we had one, when I reminded her of that, she shrugged and said, then I guess I'm done) One year she asked that her 'friends' in the orphanage she was in all get parents... that one brought a tear to my eye (for days)... Another year she asked that they all get presents. She doesn't really ask for anything for herself.
