Oh goodness...I remember when Elizabeth was turning 1...I took her to the dr for a check up...he asked me what was she getting for her birthday...I said a bean bag...the look on his face was priceless...he said I have seen a lot of children come in here with the stuffing of the bean bag stuffed up their nose. I was like ohhhh.

Needless to say she didn't get a bean bag, but maybe this year.

Thanks for the article Annie
