Santa Makes the Toys

Mark and I took kids to Toys R Us yesterday.  No we are not crazy!  We wanted Hayden to look at all the bicycles since that is what she wanted....notice I said wanted.  My thoughts were I wanted her to pick out the one that she really, really wanted.  Well, she really had no interest and basically said it really didn't matter.  Well, obliviously she didn't really want a bicycle. Right?  So, anyways she picked out one after Mark pretty much talked her into the one he liked!  Then we went through the boys section, which is now Mark's favorite part.  Colton loved all the tractors and wanted a remote control one.  Except, he is not quite ready for that yet.  Then we got to the Electronics section and Hayden informed us that she really, really wants an i touch.  Well, Mark and I are totally against it.  I mean she is 6 years old, she isn't old enough to take care of something that cost so much money.  Is she?  Well, we debated and debated in the store and basically she ended up in tears and very upset because she really, really wants Santa to bring her an i touch.  So we get to the car and by this time Mark and I are telling her that being upset isn't really helping anything.  She says " Well, I don't have to ask y'all for it, I have to ask Santa."  Okay, little smarty!  So then we put our parent skills to work and told her that if she asked Santa for an i touch and he brought it that it would probably be all she got and didn't she want a bunch of presents.  She says " No, I want and i touch, and Santa makes all of the toys, so it shouldn't matter if it is expensive or not".  Oh my, she is too smart for us!  What do you say to that.  Well, we told her okay, to ask Santa and see what happened.  So we stood outside the car and just looked at each other like oh well what do we do now!  It looks like Santa may end up bringing her the i touch, because it would be awful for her to not get what she really, really wants.  She will not be getting the most expensive one though!  She has talked about it constantly and when you ask her what she wants for Christmas that is all she says!  I love my smart, beautiful little girl!
