This little tale all started last night when Uncle John, Aunt Lizzy, and Baby Delilah were over for dinner. A Fisher Price catalog came in the mail yesterday and Shawn decided to thief it from the computer desk. After not so carefully flipping through the pages he comes across this "Blue House." Frustrated and determined, Shawn attempts to pick the house right out of the pages of this catalog. Earlier that day I promised my two year old "We will go to Toys R Us tomorrow." Well, since Shawn now knows that a Blue House is somewhere on the horizon and that Toys R Us is GOING to happen... put two and two together... and Mommy's gotten herself into a pickle. See, this "Blue House" is the Fisher Price Busy Day Home (not exactly a $10 purchase here.) Aunt Lizzy agreed that we could not possibly disappoint such a cute little boy's request... and we would take the kiddos for a Mommy & Babes day out.
All morning he had been talking about this "Blue House" that had to be his. Needless to say: Toys R Us did happen. With our feet barely in the door Shawn states, "Go find Blue House." And yes, the "Blue House" did happen too.
If we could all just pick the things we want out of a magazine or off of the computer and make them manifest into real life objects. What a nifty magical power that would be!
(NOTE: We do not make a habit of this kind of spoiling, but once in a while is nice, right?) ;-)
After a fun filled day shopping with Aunt Lizzy and Delilah (which I might add was a wonderful trip with all three WONDERFULLY behaved kiddos), the boys and I headed for home to unpack this eagerly anticipated addition to the Little People collection. Landon went to bed with out a problem and I headed out to the kitchen to feed this house some batteries. When the toy in question was lifted out of its box the real fun began in the form of Shawn's phrasing.
"Wow, Mommy! Its Boo-tiful!" (repeat 2 times.)
"Can we play?"
"Its won-dee-ful!"
(***exact phrasing***)
As the door bell on this little pretend item rings: "Whoooo issss itttt!"
Fast forward to bedtime and I am telling Shawn "Its time for bed and to put the house away."
"See you soon!"
"You guys are home!"
"Bye Bye, Have a good day."

"Oh Mommy, how could you possibly have known what I wanted!" Hmph!
