Mimi still believes in Santa. I hope that we can keep this up at least until Mei Mei is old enough to understand. In truth, there really is a Santa and his name is..............dad. At least that is that way for us.

This morning I asked the girl if her room was clean and she answered "Yes". Went to her walk - in closet and there they all were.........her clean clothes all in a pile and everywhere else. Just all strewn about.

That is the moment I resigned as her clean-up mom. I told the girl that from now on I will wash her clothes but it is up to her to fold them and put them away. If she doesn't then they will get wrinkled and that will be the way she will wear them to school and everywhere else.

I also informed the child that if she continues to yell and scream "NO!!!" (which flies out of her mouth real fast these days) and phone call will be put into S.C. and he will have to skip out on bringing her presents this year and only bring them for her Mei Mei.

A phone call was put in to S.C. at his workshop this morning much to Mimi's dismay.
