O/T Thank You Polar Express

[RaspberrySwirl]

If you have everused childhood hero's to your advantage for parental leverage, you willappreciate this one! Sebastian's little girl was being a beast thismorning, and yes I'm aware that Carolyn doesn't think that's possible,never the less, it's true. She didn't want to get dressed so threwherself on the floor, didn't want to take her medicines so pretended togag on them, didn't want to do her breathing treatment so screamed towake up Daddy who had only been asleep for 4 hours, didn't want to eatbreakfast so wanted pudding....And that's how the day started. As sheis eating her peaches (not pudding) she is looking over her letter toSanta. I told her not to bother with it because she won't be gettinganything from him anyway. She glares at me and snaps "Why!?!" This isthe good part! I said, "Well, remember when we saw Polar Express lastFriday night and we saw the Elves in the monitor room?" Shenods her head yes. I look her right in the eye, and I say,"Well, I'm pretty sure they have your mean face frozen on one of thosemonitors right this very moment with all the alarms going off, bellsringing, sirens screaming, Elves running around everywhere trying tofind Santa. And as soon as Santa walks into that room andseesit I bet you get moved over to the naughtylist." This is a tough kid you guys. Smart as can be. Sweetand kind, but a thinker. You can see the wheels turning....She says,"If they already had me on the nice list and put my presentinthat bag, how are they gonna get it out?" I gave an answer. "Will I getcoal in my stocking instead?" I hold steady and reply "Yep." So, shejumps off the barstool and runs over to the calendar to count how manydays she has before Christmas to redeem herself! Thank You PolarExpress!!!

ROTFL, RaspberrySwirl. I have used an adaptationof the same idea with my five year old, espcially when he is being meanto his brother. That is too cute, glad it worked for you. It's amazinghow they can be the sweetest little kids but turn into monsters at thedrop of a hat.

Fergi's mom

p.s. Thanks for sharing that adorable story.

There ya go again,RaspberrySwirl! Tellingstories about my Perfect little Princess!

Funny because I went to the dentist the other day and she told me thather4 year old smirks at her when she gets in trouble and Momsays Santa's watching and the little girl says, "Santa can't seeme. If I can't see him, he can't see me!"

I'll share this story with her and perhaps another little pumpkin will start towing the line.

LOL Raspberrynot only is Sebastian's little girl beautiful, she is Clever and wise. Even Angels have their off days

Alyssa's favourite film at the moment is 'Twice Upon a Christmas' I gother thinking the other day because she was throwing a typical 3 yearold strop when I mentioned how Hughie, Dughie and Louie was on FatherChristmas's bad list at firstbecause they were bad and theyhad to be good to be on the good list. Anyway I had forgot aboutituntil yesterday, while we were catching the bus to nurseryshesaid "I'm not getting the bus to nursery" and I said"why?" She then said "because I'm going toget one to theNorth Pole to write my name on the good list like Hughie, Dughie andLouie did".I had to tell her that they found out the hard waythat you will still have to be good and since then she keeps saying"I'm being good now". Children today are just smarter then their years.

Ah the wonders of Children's Christmas Films. You might aswell make the most of it until she stops falling for it LOL!

P.S Love that Avatar!! Keep them coming!!!!

That's precious too, DaisyNBuster.

I love how independent thesekids are.

WhenSebbie's little girlhad had enough ofhermom one day, she called her auntand was ready tohike on over to her house and move in. Forget needing to getdriven there, shecould walk because she knows theway.

I'm sure your two little "angels" would be the best of friends if theywere ever to meet. It's a good thing they're across the pondfrom each other. Can you imagine the things they'd accomplishif such great minds were to meet? :shock:

Kisses and Love to them both.

I guess we don't have to worry about you being a bad girl anymore, huh?

I'm sure Sebastian's little girl is being the perfect little angel weknow that she is! No little girl that cute could have anonery streak! It's just impossible!

 

[mygrl2k3]

Why give her a lump of coal. We could just give her a sack of bunny poop. I am sure we all have some we could spare. haha.

Ya! Coal's too expensive anyways.

P.S.- We always joke around with my dad that our house is too cold andthat things defrost better if they were left outside instead of inside,so for us, we always tell my dad we want coal for Christmas.
