We are busy making lists around here, trying to tackle all the holiday tasks and head off some panicking in 3-4 weeks. Yesterday over lunch I was talking with Matilda about what items she might like to buy for people. At first she was just claiming she wanted to get everyone chocolate and candy canes. That is all nice and good, but I tried to explain to her how you think of what someone else likes when choosing a gift for them, not just what you want. Here's what she came up with, all on her own:
Great Grandma Mary: a wooden giraffe
Great Grandpa Fred: a golf ball and a golf tee
Uncle Gordie: cheetos
Aunt Lori: chocolates
Grandma Kathy: a new horse riding helmet
G-pop: 1 more pug (this is my favorite answer)
Uncle Brian: (you guessed it) smoked salmon
Aunt Gia: a bird cage (I have no explanation for the reasoning there, when pressed Matilda didn't either)
Mama: cheese
Porter: beans
Daddy: pepperoncinis

She is very observant! Not many 4 1/2 year olds would pay attention to what other peoples likes are!!
