About a month or so ago after a trip to Home Goods, Em decided she needed what she called "Good Night Baby" for
Hannukah. She insisted that someone would buy it for her and when anyone asked her what she wanted for the holidays, without hesitation, it was always "Good Night Baby". It was just a few short weeks ago that she actually decided that Santa was the one who was going to bring it to her. I'm really not sure where exactly she learned all about Santa, but she picked it up somewhere and even knew exactly what his role was.
I wasn't too concerned, I mean, how hard could it be to find a doll that goes to sleep and has a pacifier and bottle??? Well apparently it's harder than I ever imagined!
I took Em back to Home Goods because that's where the "Good Night Baby" requests started, but they had nothing, so off we went to the Target baby aisle and again, she looked and looked and said it was not there. A little
panicked, I told her Santa would do the best he could and whatever he brought her, was what he thought was best. I had searched the
Internet and found what I thought was the BEST Good Night Baby EVER! I mean you would have thought I won the lottery when I saw this baby that they only sold at
Walmart. Off Andy went to the store he hates worse than any place in the world, and said he even had to almost fight another couple for it, but he successfully got the baby and we were all set! I personally felt a great sense of relief.
Fast forward a few weeks to
Christmas morning. We left the gift from
Santa right at the end of her bed and waited with
excitement as she opened it. Well, let's just say, Santa got it wrong :( Not only did she say this wasn't "Good Night Baby" the baby didn't even work, it was supposed to cry, go to sleep, even snore, guess that's the last time I shop at Walmart, damn them!
If you want to check out the reaction live, here you go!
Thankfully Nana and PP had purchased there own Hannukah gifts so that did take some of the pressure off of me. But even after opening all of her gifts, she was STILL looking for "Good Night Baby". We are off to Florida this week and I assured her we would try to find something there. Please Florida don't let us down!!!
Practicing our sad faces...also making her laugh to actually smile for the pictures!
