Natalia has been asking for an ipod for a long time. Well, I mean, for a while. She asked Santa for an ipod for Christmas and was very disappointed when she didn't get it. I explained to her that Santa brings gifts that are age appropriate and an ipod is not appropriate for a 5 year old. I think she was okay with that answer until we went to San Antonio in January and saw her little cousin (4 years old) with an ipod. Natalia asked her who had given the ipod to her and Ashlyn answered: "Santa." (Great!) Natalia quickly came to me and demanded a good explanation. I had to tell Natalia that before Santa brings them gifts, he always asks us if the gifts he is thinking about bringing are good with us...anyway, I really don't know how I got out of that one, but I think I did!
Well, now that she is much older (6 years old now, not 5- six months later than when she asked Santa for the ipod) :0), we decided to buy her one for her birthday and get the credit for it. Believe me, I've justified the purchase. I have several reasons why she "NEEDS" an ipod. ~None good enough for Dave, but he went along with it (I guess, to keep the peace). On Sunday, before Dave had to go back to Bmt., we gave her the ipod. Well...DAVE gave her the ipod while I took pictures. Natalia couldn't believe that DADDY had gotten her the ipod. All eyes were for Daddy only (Mama - well, I don't think she even realized I was in the room.) She was so excited when she saw her own pink ipod. For the rest of the day, all she wanted to do was to listen to her music and sing from the top of her lungs. Natalia stopped singing for a second and turned to Daddy and said: "Daddy, I sound just like the girl singing that song!" (LOL)
