So yesterday I had the brilliant idea to tell ZK about Santa coming to bring his presents next month... BRILLIANT.
The negative is that I didn't think about the fact that a 3.5 year old has absolutely NO concept of time and therefor has asked me at least twice every hour "Is it Christmas yet Mom?... Is it now?". I amaze myself sometimes with my genius.
The positive side to the situation is that ZK is now aware that Santa "can see you all the time" and will know if he's being a good boy or not. He doesn't want Santa to bring him "Just a little rock!" instead of presents.... How do you explain a lump of coal to a toddler? It's a rock. A rock instead of cool presents. That's explanation enough for him to understand that Santa means business.
Anyway, I have a teeeeeeensy twinge of guilt each time I remind him about Santa watching when he's trying to make trouble but the guilt is quickly replaced by the satisfaction of knowing that this awesomely effective little tool will be good for more than a month. It just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. You know? Santa totally rocks.
