Tyger's Christmas List

I had my first night out in about four years on Friday and ended up...a little worse for wear.  As a result, I was unable to to write my usual blog post yesterday (I was unable to do much except lie on the sofa feeling very sorry for myself).

So, a quick blog post today.  Tyger has become 'aware' of adverts and of the fact things can be ordered/bought.  This has led to many very repetitive conversations starting with, 'My want...' until I came up with a strategy.  Every time this happens, now, I suggest we write it on his Christmas list and then we'll just see which things he gets at Christmas.  For the time being, he accepts this response.

I'm not convinced he's going to get everything on the list, though.  Perhaps you can see why:


Tyger's Christmas List 2015

• Necklace
• Beads
• Microwave
• Red racing car
• Castle
• Orange glasses
• Temporary tattoos
• A big Totoro like a real one
• Circus tent
• Piggy bank
• A real helicopter
• A real plane
• Watch
• A sausage dog that climbs trees
• Hetty Hoover toy
• Real Henry Hoover

Some things are perhaps a little more realistic than others, though I like the idea of getting a real Totoro!

What's the weirdest thing your child (or you as a child) has asked for as a birthday or Christmas present?
