Nolan's Letter to Santa

I asked Nolan if he wanted to write Santa a letter of what he wanted for Christmas. His letter is short and sweet. He probably would have kept thanking him rather than telling him what he wanted for Christmas if I didn't steer him in that direction. As I thought about it later, I realized how if everyone focused on what they were thankful for, rather than what they wanted, this would be a happier world. Children are some of the best teachers.

Dear Santa,

Thank you for playing with those ducks. Thank you for letting me live in this house. That's what I want to say. I want some two animals for christmas. K, I think that's it.

-Nolan (12/5/08)

Oh that is so sweet! Sometimes it's too bad that they learn so much from us, huh? You just want them to stay sweet & innocent like that forever!
