I'm going to be the balloon grinch... SORRY! But just a friendly warning to be very careful with toddlers and latex balloons. A good mom friend of mine is a pediactric ER doc and she told me the #1 overlooked hazard that she sees kill children is latex balloons, because if a piece of one that gets popped gets inhaled (we generally inhale sharply from relex when surprised) or blocks the windpipe, it sticks to the sides and is very difficult to heimlich out or remove.
She recommends mylar balloons only for little ones.
Does Santa have access to mylar balloons?
okay...back to topic.
P.S. Are you kidding me with the train around the tree and the kitten? Pretty crummy childhood, huh?
