"swimming dog"


"But mommy, he walks and he swims, he is the best toy"

UGH!! So this is why parents hate commercials? This toy is the first toy Megan has every really wanted just from seeing on TV. She has been asking for it for about a month, each time making a case (like a future lawyer would) why this is a great toy that will be always used, while you as a parent know its a toy that will be played with for a day or two and forgotten.
We have been very blessed and item has never been in stock in any store we went to.... until TODAY.
It begun with my child having a meltdown over "SuperMonkey sheets set" and me looking like an evil mother who wont even buy her child sheets. To distract her, I finally said hey lets go look at toys. As we rounded the corner I saw a big box on the shelf with "swim dog" my childs eyes shined like a Christmas tree as she ran to it. And when she was told that no she can not have him today, the meltdown begun. Oy. I just wanted to find a rock and hide under it.
Let me just say.... I HATE COMMERCIALS!! It doesnt get better, does it?
