I am trying to teach my wayward toddler the value of waiting (and doing as he's told).... so his advent calander (which is a wooden refillable one) is sitting within his reach..... i've explained what its for - and that he is allowed 1 drawer every day - he found number 1 and just asked for 'more' so i've explained that he can open number 2 tomorrow.......
so far he's being very good but who knows what'll happen when my back is turned!

Re: am i asking for trouble??
My children have to be dressed, bed's made, clothes picked up, teeth brushed, breakfast eaten etc before they can have their's.
December is the only month I don't have to nag ... well for the first half anyways

Re: am i asking for trouble??
he's only 2 - he keeps asking for numbers but so far has only had his 1 today!
he did have some quite good logic, he said if he eats number 24 it'll be christmas tomorrow! 
Blessed Be!

Re: am i asking for trouble??
he'd be massively disappointed -we've got no decs up and no presents yet! 
still got a stocking to fill for him - i asked him what he wants for christmas..... an umbrella, a hairdryer and a digital camera!
Blessed Be!
