So I thought about the BEST present they got. My answer? The girls got a toddler table (you know, short to the ground) and chairs just their size for the front room. M and I LOVE it because now they aren't fighting to be on the same, adult-sized chair at the desk that used to be in that room....said fighting led to some bumps and bruises. Toddlers falling off of chairs is bad. Being able to leave the room for a few minutes (to um, oh I don’t know, do something phenomenal like use the bathroom without needing to take everyone with me) is good!
But then, I thought about how the girls might have answered.
I bet that Monkey would tell us her favorite present is the safety light on a stick that "Santa" (aka Granddad) included as a stocking stuffer. It flashes! It can be annoyingly blinding to sisters and moms alike! You can whirl it on its string as a weapon!
And I bet that Jellybean would pick the talking book: she turns the pages, and Grandma and Andpa's voices narrate the pages! Loudly! Again and again and again and again and again!
It's all relative, right?
