We bought an advent calendar on clearance last year and waited anxiously until December 1st to hang it up. I filled the pockets with various pieces of candy, bought a creepy elf to mark the days, and the whole shebang has been an enormous hit with Eva.
She rushes down first thing every morning to see what surprise awaits. Then she eats the surprise in my bed. It’s all very wonderful.
I’m impressed by her affinity for the advent calendar. I’m even more impressed that she doesn't peek into the pockets to see what’s coming next. She patiently waits for the surprise and hypothesizes every night before bed what it could possibly be. I don’t know where she developed such self control.
We all know it ain’t heredity.
