How Long till Santa?

Well, we received a catalog for Fisher Price toys in the mail yesterday. Not a big deal...until your 3-year old sees it! Brock has been pretty "into" Christmas for the past couple years but this one is going to take the grand prize so far. He's flipping through the pages and is extremely excited with each turn. His eyes light up and he says "Mom, I want this!" "Mom, look at this dinosaur!" "Mom, I want that plane!" And so on and so on. So what does this naive mom say? (You'd think I would know better by now.) "You'll have to ask Santa Claus to bring it to you. Well, that did it...now try to explain to this same 3 year old that Christmas is still 63 days away! He wanted to know if Santa was coming tomorrow. Hmmm, no. We have to get through Halloween, Thanksgiving, St. Nick's day and then we'll finally get around to Christmas. The poor kid went to bed last night with the catalog. Tonight, he also looked through it one more time before lying down to go to sleep. Here's hoping he doesn't bring this up for the next 63 days! Our Christmas Countdown decorations may come in pretty handy this year!

Oh, and if you're wondering...Brock doesn't have cheap taste!! He is extremely excited over some pretty expensive toys!
