I’ll admit it: Doug and I have been using the Santa card a lot lately. P is three now and more into Santa than ever. Lists are made daily, changed hourly and added to with each new commercial. You can’t blame us for incorporating Santa’s cult-status into our questionable parenting method.
P won’t eat? Uh oh, Santa is watching.
P won’t go to bed? Oh boy, you’re heading for the naughty list.
P won’t comply with any of our many demands? That’s it! Santa isn’t coming, we’re welding the chimney SHUT! (At this point Doug typically grabs his drill and blow torch for the ultimate dramatic effect – it’s rather riveting truth be told)
We’ve even gone so far as to have Santa call P when she’s being especially THREE. Afterall, he knows when you’ve been sleeping, he knows when you’re awake…dude, he’s bound to know your digits.
So I guess we had only ourselves to blame as P played her own Santa card when our cat refused to be tormented for the hundredth time today. Peppermint (yes that really is her name) swatted at P with a bit of a hiss. P, not missing a beat, said “That’s it kitty! You’re not getting any presents from Santa”. She went further so kitty would know she meant business and called Santa. Caller ID’s a bitch Claus.
The next eight minutes might only be bearable enjoyable to P’s mom and dad, and maybe Grandma, but I had to share cause she cracks me up.

I don’t know is better, how cute Parker is, or Doug’s voice as the “big guy.”
This will come in handy when she is older.

This is PRICELESS!!!!! It’s good to know that Santa likes Chocolate Chip Pecan cookies. I’ll be sure to leave some out for the BIG guy this year. LOL
Poor, poor Peppermint!!! P is definitely set on not letting her have any presents. Poor kitty!
And OMG, P is getting so BIG. Such a cute kid.
Miss you lady, hope all is well!

LOVE this! Almost makes me sad that Alexis was so terrified of Santa that we couldn’t stand to torment her. The girl freaked out when the ‘elf’ said that even if we didnt’ have a chimney he would find a way in.
Altho when younger Ariel tells adults who ask her what Santa was bringing her for Christmas and she would state some totally expensive gift that she had no chance of getting just to mess with the adults, because we can never be too sure who doesn’t realize that Santa isn’t coming.
