A mom's Christmas wish-list

Dear Santa,

I know I'm late but I wanted to share my wish-list with you anyway. Being mom to a toddler is hard work, so maybe you could give me some gifts to make the task easier? Here's what I want for Christmas:

1. For a start, a cup that warms itself so that I can have my cup of tea at my pace.
2. For that matter, how about a plate that warms itself because the same applies to food.
3. A hovering chair so I don't have to make a screeching noise to sit when Little Dude is sleeping. Plus, I can use it move around the house quietly.
4. A mechanical arm extension so I can pick things off the floor with Little Dude in one arm.
5. An elf who cleans the house at the snap of a finger. Everyday. 
6. A video monitor inside the washroom and shower.
7. A robot that follows the Dude around and catches him if he falls.
8. A toy that will distract the kid long enough to stay still during diaper change.
9. A tiny elf who can pull out toys from little nooks and crannies.
10. A little blanket that pulls itself up every time it is pushed down.

Between you and me, Santa, I know you can't really get me these things. But thanks for listening anyway!
