My husband finally has a small idea of what it is like to grow up in our family. My dad has been singing "I Wanna Hippopotamus for Christmas" since after Thanksgiving. While we were Christmas Shopping, we found a hippopotamus that sang the song. Brian's response - "I thought your dad made that song up." Welcome to my world.
Oh my.... that was PERFECT!!!!! BreeAnna is telling me that she wants a hippopotamus for Christmas. I don't think that she has even ever heard that song. We, of course, sang part of it to her after she told us this. What do I do though.... She is very specific in her hippo. She wants a pretend one, not real and it has to be pink and maybe a blue one for Jaden. I LOVE kids!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAshley did this to me when she was this age too. Santa came to her preschool and she told him that she wanted a flamingo! They had just learned the letter F in school. f-f-f-freezing flamingo says f-f-f- It was very cute but where on earth do you find a flamingo 2 weeks before Christmas in Logan (that's where we lived at the time). My mom came to the rescue! She had a TY Beanie Baby flamingo in her display case that she very generously donated to our panicked search.
Any suggestions on Hippos? This time only 3 days before CHRISTMAS?!!!!!
I hope you can find something! Maybe you could sneak a gray one in and she'll be so excited for Christmas, she won't notice.
ReplyDeleteGood Idea!
