I like having traditions. I like having things I am trying to instill in my boys that they will remember when they are older. I want them to have warm fuzzies one day when they think remember their childhood times. Tonight we read another story from an advent book that I started reading to them last year. Gabe even remembered a story last year about the monster and the cookies. Sure enough, I looked in the table of contents, and there it was. A story about a monster and cookies. I like that he is remembering, and I like that we are starting something-we are starting traditions. Gosh, I love being a mom.
