So my 3 yo DD had on her list a "panda bear house." For the life of me, I could not figure out what she meant. On Sunday, she went to Creative Kidstuff to play with her dad while I shopped at other stores, which is our usual routine. When I went to meet then, DD was playing with the Calico Critters house, which I had never seen before in real life). DH says to me, "they [DDs] play with this everytime we come here ~ they love it." I responded, "um remember all those times I asked you if they would like Calico Critters, and you said you didn't know what they were?" He responds that he didn't realize that is what the toy was called. Anyway, while at our Christmas Eve celebration, DD1 says to me, "I really hope Santa brings my panda bear house. that is my most favorite thing on my list." Then it finally hit me!!! I asked DD1 if she was referring to the thing she had played with at the store the day before. Of course she was!!! Ugh ~ all these weeks she had it on her list, and I watched all of you discuss these awesome Calico Critters deals without nabbing any of them. So, now I am on the hunt for some good Calico Critter deals! If any of you know of any, please let me know! Thank you for the heads up on all the other deal greats I scored this season
