This year's Christmas did not kick off well. I bought some books for Elliot and Scarlett for Christmas and didn't have the chance to wrap it. So I put them in my office thinking that Scarlett won't see it. Well, the other day, she went in there with her dad and happen to spot them. So the next morning she asked to look at them. I had to steer her away and talk her out of it. So I wrapped them while she was at preschool and set them under the Christmas tree but later, I realized that she recognizes the Christmas wrapping paper, which resides in her closet. So I thought for sure she knew that those presents were from me and not Santa.
This morning, on our drive to preschool/daycare, she asked, "mama, how is Santa going to come to our house?"
"Through the chimney," I said.
"But we don't have a chimney," she said.
(Hmm, she's too sharp...) "You're right, we don't have a chimney. Maybe I'll ask Santa."
So she said, "Maybe he will come through the door to our living room."
"Well, how would he get through the door? Maybe I can give him a key," I suggested.
I guess she still believes in Santa...

They're so smart...
ReplyDeleteWe went roller skating with Eva last week, and there was a Santa there. She asked if that was really Santa, and I was totally stumped as to what to say. I told her that it was Santa's helper, because Santa has to have lots of helpers this time of year. They really don't miss a thing when it comes to Santa.
Love to all of you!!!
