Sorry it's been a little while since we wrote on here. Life just keeps happening and we just can't seem to catch up. I am actually really looking forward to the end of this year and just getting past all of the holiday "stuff".
I realized the other day that we needed to do a better job explaining what Christmas is to Lauren. We were wrapping Christmas gifts and I asked her what Christmas was about and says " Me! ". We talked about what the true meaning of Christmas was and why we give gifts to others. I think she gets it a little better. We aren't doing the whole Santa Claus thing at our house, I was a little worried about what other kids would tell her, but she doesn't seem to care about it. She seems to see Santa Claus as a cartoon character or a story.
Lauren and I started doing "school" this week. We have some pattern blocks and some letter/number puzzles that we do together. She is having a blast. She now knows all the letters in her name and she knows what letters mommy and daddy start with. She loves learning!
We pray that you all are having a great holiday and have a very blessed new year!
