My older daughter used to be so great about toys. She was happy with whatever she got. We would get the Little People toys and Dora toys but she would also be happy with toys from the dollar store. Now, since she has started watching Nickelodeon on a regular basis, she wants EVERYTHING. Everytime a toy commercial comes on it is like "I want that Daddy! I want that!"

If I ever get kids, the tele is outa da window.

We would read and play games. Real boring to some, but way more fun, in my opinion.

The bests games according to my daughter :

- kisses war
- dancing with me
- teaching the dog new trics
- drawing and singing with me

I'm now fixing her a book in the 3 languages she speaks
funny colored things to help her picture the lesson
I draw it then send her

we live 4000 km one for the other, trips and lawyers make material life
harder. As a graphic designer and "left behind" mother, I try to have a link that is upper than usual gifts (cuz she's very spolied).

I send her music, books, drawings, clothes, shoes. The "style of Paris". All her friends know me and are very frightened of me. She lives with jaleous and regarding people, she suffers a lot from that. She's nine only but sooooo mature... I'm sad because she tells me children are bad to her and using her at school, and she wants to have friends.

My ex husband doesn't buy her the things she asks, even if he owns the money. Well, he is a shit.

And I had to tell her it takes lot of time to be good at drawings (she didn't want to draw because of my drawings she thought too beautiful). I teached her to express whatever she feels like. She writes songs... She makes her own books, somethimes makes plans of flats, she copies each of my styles... She's funny, and very funky.
