Ahhhh...marketing to children

For any of you who have watched kids television stations, especially Sprout, you know all too well what a pillow pet is. For the past year, I have successfully dodged the bullet of getting one for Railey by distracting her or just pretending like I couldn't hear her (I know, I get a big fat F in parenting for that tactic).

Today, the commercial came on and Railey was especially zoned in on it. At the end of the commercial, it said, "If you have a birthday holiday or special occasion coming up, these are the perfect gift" To that, Railey turned to me and said, "I have a birthday coming up."

How do I compete with that? Panda pillow pet was ordered within 5 minutes.
