Well it happened. Santa delivered. Christmas morning was almost a bust until a package was spotted, hidden under the Christmas tree with a special gift inside. It was ripped open in seconds, tears of happiness streamed down faces, and screams of joy echoed through the neighborhood.
Ok, that's not how it happened at all. There were no screams. No crisis was averted. In fact, I had to point out the package under the tree, pick it up, coax Bug over to look at it, and tear it a little bit to pique her interest. It was the sound of paper ripping that got her going {she's totally into tearing paper of any kind for some reason}. When she finally got the box opened, a small smile washed over her face as she softly whispered, "undies." Through the smile, I could see some lingering reservation though. I watched and waited as she pulled each pair out. First the Toy Story undies, then Wall-e and Finding Nemo, before she came to the ones. Or should I say, The Ones. Her face lit up like it was Christmas morning {wait} and she shouted, "CAR UNDIES!" She pulled them out and her hands flew into the air as if she'd just witnessed the winning play for her favorite sports team.
Her face says it all |
Before I knew it {although I had totally expected it} she had dropped trou and was putting them on. Ironically, she bypassed the car ones and opted for the Nemo ones. Later in the day she opted for the Buzz ones. I think she was so excited about them she had to have them out in the open where she could look at them frequently.
