Every year Grammy sends the grandkids an advent calendar. I decided that since Isis is now two and a half, that I could perhaps, in a very simple way, explain Christmas to her.
I began by showing her the advent calendar with a picture of Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus surrounded by forest animals peeking in. I spoke very carefully to ensure she understood. It went a little something like this...
Here is your calendar from Grammy. We open one door each day until Christmas, just like your sticker charts. See the picture. Here is Mary. She is going to have a baby named Jesus. She has a baby in her tummy just like Aunt Karla has a baby in her tummy. Then when we open all these windows, the baby will come out of Mary's tummy and we will have a birthday party.
To which Isis replied...
I have to go pee pee.

I am laughing very much. Dad
One day it will hit her and all your hard work will be worth it. Even tho you don't think she's listening, she is. Is she potty trained now?
Well on her way to potty training. She pees in her potty all the time, but other times insists on wearing a diaper. Right now all I care about is using less diapers!
priceless!!!!
