New tradition in our house! Yesterday, I was trying to think of ways to cheer Zoey up for having to miss her birthday party (and, I'll admit, some way to cheer myself up too--everybody was feeling a little bummed around here) so I decided we'd celebrate St. Nick Day a little early.
I explained (or, rather, TRIED to explain) the concept to Zoey: you leave your shoe out tonight, and St. Nick will come fill it with goodies while you're sleeping--kind of like a Santa Claus warm-up. This quickly led to confusion, as she assumed our cousin Nick would be dropping by sometime in the middle of the night to leave her a present. I clarified, several times, the difference between St. Nick and Cousin Nick. Totally over her head. But she was excited about the overall idea.
So, shortly after 7:00 this morning, Zoey was thrilled to find that my Aunt Cindy's 17-year-old son had snuck in late last night to leave her a Dora DVD, a Snoopy ornament, and some blue jelly beans.
Thanks, Nick!
