A Letter to Santa

Dear Santa,

This Christmas I don't want a toy, but instead I want to ask for something very special.

Could you please give mommy and daddy TIME.

Please give them time so that they are not so rushed and flustered in the mornings.

Please give them time so that they can help me comb my hair and tie my shoelaces.

Please give them time to really listen when I tell them something that is important to me.

Please also give mommy and daddy the time to sit on the floor with me and play.

Please also give them time to sit at the table with me and have the time to show me how to spread my butter and how to hold my knife and fork.

Please give them time so that they can watch and laugh together with me at Barney and Cartoon Network.

Please give mommy and daddy the time to explain to me why I shouldn't be scared of the nasty things I am exposed to on TV sometimes.

Please give them the time so that they can bath with me and wash me.

Please give them the time to hug me lots and squeeze me tight and show me how much they love me.

Please give them time to sing me a bedtime song and tell me a bed time story.

Please give mommy and daddy the time just to lay with me for a short period before I fall asleep at night.

Please, please don't give me any toys, but

PLEASE GIVE MOMMY AND DADDY TIME, SO THAT THEY HAVE TIME FOR ME.
