The kids have been putting together their Christmas lists. This has never been an issue for Milly. She has always been very specific about her needs and wants, and can easily come up with a wish list of items as long as your arm. In fact, I got a bit excited when she asked if it was alright to put some books on her Christmas list. Hooray, anything that isn't a toy gets my seal of approval. So when she found out her list could include items that weren't toys, she madly started writing and the list got longer still.
Henry, on the other hand, either comes up with a list of toys he will never play with but only wants them because he doesn't have them. Or he comes up with a list of what is essentially the same item, only he has given it different names. For example, this Christmas he would like an Ipad mini, an Ipad touch, a touchscreen laptop, and a computer). Remember back in 2008 when all he wanted was a some soup and a truck? (you can read about it here)
Then we come to Buster.
Me: Buster, what would you like for Christmas?
Buster: A telescope and a telescope.
Me: Why do you need two telescopes?
Buster: One for me and one for Henry.
Me: What else would you like?
Buster: A pirate sword.
Me: But you already have a pirate sword.
Buster: Henry doesn't have one. I want to give it to him so he can play with me.
Bless.
