Mistaken identity

On the last day of "school" my little one was weighed down with arts and crafts. Homemade wreaths, stockings, ornaments, glitter art. You name it.

Every day I rummage through her back pack looking for notes from the teacher, extra homemade prizes and I have to make sure we have her lovey...aka "bata"

I came across this piece of fabric about 4 inches square and it was decorated in marker...inside it was a rice filled sock with a neck segment made from a pipe cleaner. The figure had eyes and a mouth.

"Oh my! Look how cute this is! Is this a snowman?" I asked her before we drove off.

"No Mommy! It's Baby Jesus!"

I laughed until my stomach hurt.

Those words coming out of a 2 year old's mouth.....just makes you laugh.

Glad to hear they were talking about Baby Jesus at school....it is easy to forget the "reason for the season" with all the hustle and bustle we create for ourselves.

So, on this Christmas....cherish the time with your family and remember WHY we celebrate.

"No Mommy! It's Baby Jesus!"

Merry Christmas everyone!
