And we have a winner.

For best Christmas gift. It was not the 400 piece Thomas the train bonanza, the sweet eco friendly lunch sticker pale or full functioning trash trucks complete with noise.  It came from thoughtful Nanny and Papa. His name is Skanky, (I had nothing to do this, B is original like that), and he is a wannabe cobra about 5 feet in length. By wannabe, I mean he is a fake snake, in case you didn’t catch that. I don’t know if I am more concerned with the potential name dropping that could take place at  preschool, or that he wants to wear it Britney spears style at all times. How to explain to a 3 year old wearing a snake reminds mommy of a bald Britney holding a bat. {enter suggestion here}.
