This Christmas was the first one where Lexi seemed fully aware of what the proceedings meant. Santa brought her presents because she was good (mostly) and because she'd had the forethought to tell him exactly what she wanted. Or get her mom to, anyway.
One of the main items on her list was a "big-girl' kitchen. She was beyond thrilled. "How did Santa know EVERYTHING I wanted???" Um, because I told him for you when we saw him at the Eagle open house and you were too shy to speak REMEMBER???
Parent tip of the week: Don't let your kids' watch commercials. If you do, they'll decide that they simply can't go on living with out the Swimming Water Baby™.
She said her most favorite gift, however, was this easel complete with dry erase board. It was a cast-off from the Tobias family storage unit, emptied just before the big move. We cleaned it up a little and made it good as new. I predict hours of fun -- and dry erase marker clothing stains -- are in our future.

I think Lexi's "big-girl" kitchen is a little too close to the "big-girl-and-boy's" liquor shelf. Better sniff out her culinary concoctions before imbibing.
I wanted to play with that kitchen Wednesday night, but I resisted.
