#kidlitchat as a kid we read a large storybook of Christmas stories. And my favorite one was about a little teddy bear that got lost in Santa sleigh. I’ve been watching Christmas movies to enjoy this season. Like White Christmas for classic and a new one,That Christmas, which I enjoyed last year

#kidlitchat no special insights this year just a lot of waiting and I’m still waiting. But there is a glimmer of hope for one picture book… which means more waiting. By nature, I am not a patient person. So maybe I am learning to be even more patient… Waiting.
