Advent season! (Original idea credit and continued sponsorship: Beebee). Dec. 5th brought to you by holiday llama PJs and the "Robot Dab."
Our advent has a few gifts (PJs, new Xmas books, fancy holiday dress, a new beanie for sledding), some holiday activities/events (writing Santa a letter, family holiday movie night, Christmas Ships, Zoo Lights, Annie play), and several activities for others or acts of kindness (making teachers button tree ornaments, shopping for Toys for Tots, baking cookies for local fire station, putting together homeless bags, bean soup mix for neighbors, donations to Heifer International). This is the first year she's been a bit of a 'Gimme Pig,' so we'll see if the advent exacerbates the greed and instant gratification or remedies it.
But also, she can be so funny.
She has been playing with some old nativity set a lot since we got out the Xmas decorations. A bunch of wise men and lambs were scattered all over our coffee table, so I started to clean up while she’s in the bath. I had to get a new plastic baggie because she ripped the other one, and I realized not all the pieces were there.
Me, shouting to her from the living room to the bathroom: “Hey Bean, where's baby Jesus?”
Her, shouting back nonchalantly: “I dunno."
Me, kind of annoyed: “Seriously? You lost baby Jesus?”
Her, shrugging: “I think he just got stolen by the bads or something.”
