Logan was CRAZY excited to start the advent calendar this year. He’s been excited all week! He keeps time in ‘5 year old’ with lots of “this many days” and some of “the day after this happens it will be…” so when today finally came he JUMPED out of bed at o’dark thirty and ran to try to read what was in our advent envelope even though it was still dark. The only word he got was ‘Santa’ and he came to the side of my bed around 6:20am to ask me to read the rest of it. I am hoping this is not a trend that will last until Christmas day, but it sure was cute he was so excited!
