Wow - that's really neat...

Today we were going on a walk, Gracie was riding her bike when she told me... "Today Ella said, "I want that, I want that" and I told her Santa doesn't like it when you say that. You should say, "Wow, that's really neat." He'll know you like it then."

Makes me SMILE when she actually listens to me! Earlier in the week, Grace was CONSTANTLY saying, "I want that - I want that - I want that!" I didn't think we'd make it to Christmas, so I told her, "Santa will think, "Gosh Grace wants too much, I can never make her happy." So then he might just skip her house and go on to another little girl who only wants one special present. I told her I bet that if you just say, "Wow, that's really neat." He'll know you liked it. And who would have known - she listened!!! Makes me smile:-)
