A Four Year Old's Concept of Time....

So Kassie made one of those chains at school where you take off a link every day to count down the number of days left until Christmas. I saw her taking off two yesterday and I asked her why. She explained to me that once she reached the end of the chain, it would be Christmas time, so she was just helping it come a little faster! I wish that were the case....I would be pulling off all the links and everyday would be Christmas! lol She has also been telling me a lot of stories lately about "when she was a little girl." That is her favorite phrase right now. The funny part is, some of her stories have been from the summertime. I asked her if she realized that she was the same age in the summertime as she is now. She tells me "Mom, I was just a little bit of a litte girl then!" She cracks me up. Another one from tonight: We were driving home from my husband's family Christmas party and she was asking me when her birthday is. She knows perfectly well and has since she was two that her birthday is in June, but she told me she just doesn't want to wait until summertime. She said, "Mom, can't Jesus just make it summertime already so I can have my birthday?" I love the innocence of a child. I just wish she would be happy enough that Christmas is only two days away. Can we please just focus on one holiday at a time??? =)
