We let Maile watch a show in the morning and a show at night. Recently, she’s been paying more and more attention to the commercials. It’s pretty fascinating (and scary I suppose) watching how the marketers work their way into her little mind. Every once in awhile a particular toy will catch her attention and she’ll start pitching me on all its benefits – “Daddy, look its a stuffed animal that can talk when you press its belly. I think it would be good for Lauren to play with. She could learn stuff.”
A couple weeks ago, she became fascinated by this watch that you can play games on and also has a built in camera. The VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch. It’s basically, Maile’s Red Ryder BB Gun.
She decided to write a letter to Santa to ask for it. We’ve been working on her spelling and she wanted to make sure she got it right, so first we wrote the words of the letter on a draft piece of paper and then she created the actual letter to Santa. You can see the draft in the left in this picture:
Maile Girl hard at work on her first letter to Santa...
The complete letter reads:
Dear Santa,
I bin good
Ples send me this Vtech Kidizoom Smartwatch Pink
Love Maile
It’s amazing.
Maile and her completed letter - we hope Santa gets it in time!
