My Little Pony can be frightening!

Jadyn has recently started playing with My Little Pony. She got one from her cousin, Rebekah, and enjoys playing with it, carrying it around, feeding it, etc. It is a toy that has brought her much enjoyment...that is until........we put batteries in it and now it TALKS AND MOVES!!! Ah!!!! THE HORROR!

All of the sudden, she was scared of it! LOL! We have no idea why, but being the kind and sensitive parents that we are....we just had to record her reaction! :)

Parenting top ten things...

No child has ever died from:

1. Screaming his lungs out (the lungs don't literally come out)

2. Not getting the latest handheld, GPS-encoded musical thingamabob that all the other kids have. (Even if all the other kids really, truly do have it)

3. Eating cheese sticks exclusively from age 2 to 3

4. Taking 30 seconds to think about what he's thankful for before lunging for the sweet potatoes

5.
The heartbreak of a hopelessly twisted Slinky

6.
Having to put her arm around her brother for five seconds for your family Christmas-card photo

7.
Being left with-gasp!-Dad while you go off for a much-deserved girls' weekend

8.
Seeing the Hannah Montana movie the day after it opens

9.
Having to wait till he's older before he gets to use the pocket-knife his clueless uncle got him for his birthday

10.
Too many hugs and kisses
