Merry Christmas

With each new season and holiday brings with it new words and first experiences. For example Naveia has always asked if she can pet any animal she sees in a book. So when she saw a ornament of Santa petting a reindeer she said “why can Santa pet a reindeer and not us?” I realized at that point she doesn’t even know that the reindeer pull Santa’s sleigh. That night we read The Night Before Christmas and she experienced the special connection Santa has with his reindeer.
