Advent is a big hit in our house. Nicholas will repeat back that we are waiting for Christmas, but he doesn't really get that part. What he gets is that we get to light a candle every night at dinner and sing a special Advent song. Oh, man, has that kid latched onto the Advent song. How long do you think until he knows all the words?
Tonight was the second night of Advent candles and Nicholas has spent a good 10-15 minutes at each dinner giving a long soliloquy about how he can't blow a candle away but he can blow the fire away, and other such very informative insights into the nature of candles. I don't think it is a coincidence that he hasn't been eating much dinner. I mean, really, who has time to eat when you have to opine on the nature of candles?
Just wait until Thursday when we break out the Advent calendar and he gets to add opening a flap and chocolate to the Advent routine! Toddler heaven.
