I am going to break down and do it. I am getting an Elf on the Shelf. I mean, I have to go to the store, anyways. We are out of waffles, and for those of you who know anything about our house, you know that being out of waffles is absolutely unacceptable. Jackson had to eat a Pop Tart for breakfast. The horrors!!
So, one of my friends has been blogging about her Elf's fun locations around the house. And, as the story goes, the Elf watches the kids during the day, and then each night after they are in bed, he goes to the North Pole to report to Santa what nice (or naughty) little children they have been. I think I could use this to my advantage. I will keep you posted about our Elf (if I get to the store to get one.) Should be fun.
Cole has decided to call out "Mommy" just as I am getting ready to leave his room after I have laid him down at night. So, I go back in and ask him what he needs. Nothing, of course. Repeat. And again. Like 10 times. He knows he has me wrapped around his little finger. We have started singing the ABC's and working on colors everyday. He can repeat a few colors back to me, so maybe we are getting somewhere.
Jackson has started giving us ideas for what he wants for Christmas. Bey Blades, Nintendo DSI, scooter, remote control anything....and the list goes on. Some of these things I have never even heard of. Maybe Santa will bring them. Jackson has a jam-packed social life. Tonight, he is going to Night out with the Griffs (a fun evening put on by the Missouri Western student athletes). Tomorrow afternoon, he has a birthday party at Benji's house. Which just made me realize, duh!, I need to get a birthday present for Benji. Crap!! Guess I will be making it to the store today, after all.
