Santa picked out this Sleeping Beauty Vanity for Tyler the day after Thanksgiving because it was a hot deal at Target. This morning during the morning cartoon segment, they had a commercial for it, and she started shrieking about how it was hers, and Santa is going to bring it along with stickers (Tinkerbell and Sleeping Beauty to be exact), and the beloved Pink Leapster. Christmas has really been scaled back here this year, WE DON'T NEED ANYTHING, and I would rather buy them things when they want them at Disneyland and have it be a magical place, then just buy them more toys they don't need!
My friend, Tamara, is a little apprehensive about taking her kids to Disneyland for fear of meltdowns (this woman is stricter than I am, and her kids are REALLY well-behaved), and I tried to explain that there are no meltdowns at Disneyland. It is the one place I believe in giving into all reasonable requests! Candy for breakfast at Goofy's Kitchen (SURE!), a churro at 10 in the morning (WHY NOT?!), Sprite (OK!), so on and so forth. When you put as much effort into discipline and behavior as we do, it is nice to have a place to go where the kids can have a little fun and know this is the "Disneyland Way"!
