We are deep into too much holiday and Charlie and Teddy have a horrible case of the gimmies. I am trying to figure out how to make the holidays fun without over-doing it. Last year we started having the Fifth Night party where they give a present to a child in need rather than getting a present. I explained to them tonight how doing this tomorrow night is so important because it is very important to give things to others and to share and to be generous etc etc. All Charlie could say was “I know. But I get a cupcake, right?”
Luckily I know that deep down they are very generous and do know how to share. Like Teddy gave Charlie a page of his stickers tonight when Charlie was screaming his head off because he didn’t get any. On a side note, I wish we could stop the screaming.
