There are a few things that I feel very adamantly about NOT EVER buying either of our daughters. No matter how much begging, pleading, whining, screaming, negotiating, or crying occurs. I just won't budge. I don't know why I feel so strongly about them, but I do.
Most of the things that I don't want them to have are associated with characters or princesses. Don't get me wrong though - my girls have way more than their fair share of character and Disney princess paraphernalia. (books, toys, costumes, games, jewelry, movies, etc.) You name it - they probably have it. Except for the things on "my list".
That is until now....
Yep, Jonathan got suckered in by a big, sweet, "pretty please, daddy", and he immediately got weak in the knees, pulled out his wallet, and promptly forgot any discussion that we had previously had.
He is in BIG trouble. I think Holland may have known that I wouldn't have budged so she was testing out the waters to see if Jonathan would cave or not. Sure enough, he did.
So here's the list:
1. Character or Disney Princess Sheets, Pillows, Bedding and bedroom decor
2. Princess Sporting Equipment ( I ABSOLUTELY draw the line on this one)
3. Blinking Light Shoes (with or without characters or princesses)
4. Character or Princess t-shirts, jeans, or basically any attire (pajamas - okay)
5. Princess hair accessories (pony tail holders, barrettes, etc)
I do realize that the character clothing will creep up here and there from special aunts, grandmas, other relatives, and even friends,and that is totally okay because she absolutely adores them. It is fun to watch her delight in them, and I'm glad she gets the occassional opportunity to wear such things when given to her. I'm just not the one buying them!
So, which one do you think he came home with? Or which combination of things do you think he came home with, is more like it......
Place your bet in the comment section, and I will reveal the answer very soon!

I bet it was a whole princess outfit complete with blinking shoes!!
I think he had bed sheets and blinking shoes.
Bad Jonathan, bad!
Did you take it back?
No, I didn't take it back. That would be a little over the top, and I couldn't deal with the heartache!
hmm...J would HAVE to no better about buying a bedroom decor set, so my guess will have to be light-up shoes and or a matching shirt.
I thought I was doing pretty good to refuse the pleas for Hannah Montana pajamas during the same shopping expedition.
I'm in the market for some blinking shoes myself. For the next time me and the wife go out dancing.
just realized I spelled know, NO....i need more sleep!
i'm now thinking it was the bed set :)
Hey Jonathan,
Guess you are allowed one brain freeze moment per kid!
I stand by my purchase. The shoes are actually pretty cool. The blinking and the Tinkerbell logo are fairly subtle. And the poor girl gets inundated with so much other junk from mommy and grandparents and aunts and various other hangers-on that I usually feel like I shouldn't add fuel to the materialistic fire. I'd be duplicating or quadruplicating junk everyone else has already showered upon her. So I have to resort to buying her banned objects if I want to buy her something.
Whoops. That last comment was me, Jonathan, writing in Ashley's blogger account which she left open here.
I hear ya because I have the same feeling about the sheets, blinking shoes, and so on. But hey-- at least he didn't bring home shoes that turn into skates!!! ;)
