We Need That
So it has hit my son full force. What might you ask? Commercials. I used to think of them as innoccous little annoyances that kept me from my show, but I am now aware that are actually meant to torture me through these words, " Mommy, I need that, I am going to get that for Christmas." Now we have just encountered this problem recently since my kids have started watching Nick Jr. versus Disney (who only has commercials about other Disney shows). My son has come to a full awareness that the commercials that come on in between Nick Jr. shows are for random crap - - I mean children's toys that he now needs. Not wants, but needs. So currently on his list are Bendaroos, some foaming bubble machine for the bath, various action figures, transformers, games, and the like. And since Christmas just passed, where he got a myriad of toys he now associates all gift giving with Christmas. So I say hello to the hell of commercialization and my sons obsession with owning every single thing that crosses the tv screen including non toys at times.

...has he asked for a snuggie yet? :)
My kids went through this phase where they told me how I needed the items on infomercials.... a special knife that cuts tomatoes without making a mess, the Buxton organizer and currently it's the Touch N Brush. (which actually doesn't look like a bad deal) Wait! Did I just say that.
Oh and I totally need the Bump-its
lol....that is so my kids. They both have been begging for bendaroos and the bubble machine!! When will they ever learn that I will not be buying ANY of it for them!!
