What the hell is going on at Halloween? Have you looked at some of the costumes they are putting out for our little girls now? The French Maid, the Naughty Nurse? I don’t understand what is going on with this. I have a 17 year old and there is no way she would be wearing these costumes that they are gearing towards 10-12 year olds. What amazes me is that people have to wonder what is happening with our little girls of today? From the time they are 6 or so they are looking at people like Britney Spears or Lindsey Lohan. Oh yeah, those are role models, a bad mom and a druggie. What happened to little girls wanting to be nurses or princesses or teachers? I am so sad at the state of the world when society tells our little girls that it is ok to dress trashy and that is what is expected of them. Do you know who’s fault it is? Not the company that makes the costumes but the parent that buys them. The company only makes them because they sell. If someone was not out there buying them, we would not be having this conversation.

Our children grow up fast enough, don’t you want to do everything you can to let them hold on to their innocence for as long as possible? Do you think dressing them in French Maid outfit is doing that? I hope a lot of people read this and get mad because that is what we have to do, get mad. Nothing is going to change unless we force it. Fads come and go, I am hoping that this one will go away but unfortunately something tells me it will only get worse. For all of those parents that find this as disturbing as I do, stick to your guns and don’t give in. Your child will be better for it and thank you when she grows up to be a happy, productive part of society.

One day closer to Thanksgiving is one day closer to my family coming for Christmas. I wish we could just skip Thanksgiving and go straight to Christmas. I can’t wait to get out all of the Christmas decorations. The day after Thanksgiving is the day I spend putting up the tree and getting ready for Santa.

I see that this toy has made the 2007 Hots Toys for Christmas list. My daughter Lani has one and we bought it during the summer when they were not being sot after by crazy parents trying to score that big toy for Christmas and it was hard to find then so good luck at Christmas time. I just wanted to tell you this. Lani got it when she was about 11 months old and would not have anything to do with it. She just did not find it interesting at all. Then about a month went by with it just sitting on the floor and she discovered it again. This time only to find that she was scared of it. He is pretty loud and he does flop around the floor a lot. So it went from the floor in the living room to the bottom of the toy box because she did not even want to see it.

Lani is now almost 16 months old and she found the Elmo again about 2 weeks ago and thinks it is the funniest thing ever. She just presses him and laughs. His gears do grind a little when you hold his hand that the slaps with but other than that he is a pretty good toy. I recommend this one for around the 15 month old age. But if you little is not afraid of anything go for it. We did pay $50 for Lani’s so it was a waste for it to sit in the toy box but now she likes it. Oh and by the way Lani is not afraid of anything either but she did not like the Elmo when she was around 1.
