Dear Santa

Dear Santa

You don't know me yet, but I can't wait to be on your "nice" list. I hope crying and being a fussy newborn doesn't put me on the "naughty" list, Mamma said she understands and I really don't mean to be such trouble, it's just that .... I'm growing and learning and sometimes that can be frustrating. I mean, really, my body won't do what I want it to when I want it to, I have to rely on Mamma to do everything for me, and she doesn't quite speak my language, I guess I'll have to learn hers.



Mamma got me a really nice plate and mug set, so I'll be sure to give you some milk and cookies every year. (I've included a picture so you know what to look for, I'd hate for you to miss it!) I've never even tasted a cookie, so you'll have to help me out here. What kind is your favorite? hmmmm I wonder what kind is my favorite. I'm sure Daddy will help me out with that one when the time is right! I'll let you know (maybe next year). I'll put out a carrot too, I heard about Rudolph and the reindeers and don't want them to think I don't appreciate their part in getting you mobile for Christmas, specially braving the temperatures in and around Calgary! Whew! It's -26 Celsius this morning! Don't let that scare you though, if a Chinook doesn't come through I'll be sure to warm up your milk for you. That's one thing I do know I love... mmmm... warm milk.

As I grow up, there's some things I've thought of to put on my Christmas List. I'll be sharing this list with family too, please don't think I'm greedy and expect you to deliver all of this too me. I've included online links to make it easier for you. I'm sure your elves can make these or run to the store for you.

• Big Swaddling blankets (I'm outgrowing the receiving blankets Mamma has been using and I love to be swaddled at night)
• A white noise machine (something like this one with real sounds and white noise like static or a heart beat)
• This neat star projector or this planetarium (Stars for a Starr!)
• This Little People Nativity set
• A Fisher Price Rain forest Jumparoo! (I love to push with my legs! We like the one shown here the best)
• A Combi Pod bouncer (oohhh, it even vibrates!)
• An activity center (like this Baby Einstein Around the World Discovery Center, so I have somewhere besides my high chair to sit and play)
• Peek a Blocks (they look kinda fun and interesting)
• A play arch (something like this, so Mamma can put it wherever I decide to be that doesn't have toys)
• Some stuff for my crib (Playskool 2 in 1 Gloworld Firefly Mobile, something like this aquarium and something like this mirror)
• A plate and mug stand (for your dishes, don't worry I won't try to put the cookies on them while they are in the stand, even I know they won't stay there)
• Oh, and clothes always come in handy!

Oh yeah, and when you get here don't look for a big tree to put the presents under, you'll be looking high and low, I don't want you to spend your precious time looking for something that isn't there. You see, the kitty likes to eat the branches so Mamma puts a small one on the mantle. Don't put the wrapped prezzies too close to the fire though!

Love
