I don't understand why people spend so much money on their kids. It's just foreign to me. My daughter is only a year and a half and has fallen in love with Cinderella (or, "Rella"). However, I cannot afford this kind of nonsensical luxury. As it is, she has most of my toys from when I was a kid and seems happy with that. I found the VHS version of Cinderella on Craigslist and it works just fine for $3. She loves it. The only realy money I've spent so far is a regular wooden toddler bed that I hand-painted with Cinderella and the other characters from the movie. Tedious? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. She loves it and will learn how to appreciate the hard work that goes into having things like that. She'll also know that material stuff doesn't matter in life. She'll know that as long as she is loved and can love in return, life is good and all is well in the world. These expensive things are just that, expensive, in more ways that just the price tag. Stop spoiling your children. Let them learn how to EARN things. Trust me, they'll be happy with a Cinderella blanket. $12 at Walmart. Grab 'em up.
