We were talking about whether or not to introduce Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny to Ashlee. I don't want her to be all caught up in something that may be distracting her from the real reason of celebrating that day. <br /><br />But then at the same time I think part of being a "kid" is being able to use your imagination. It is great to think of this other world that doesn't exist but you don't realize that as a kid. I don't want to deprive her of being able to use her imagination. Although I also don't want to lie to her either.<br /><br />I think we are more leaning towards allowing there to be a Easter Bunny and Santa Clause because I remember how much fun that was as a kid. I think she will enjoy it too. However at the same time I hope to be able to put more emphasis and teach her about the holiday and why we celebrate it. We can have fun but we need to make sure we are doing activities that center on the reason for celebrating the day.Ashleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17918307583063096409noreply@blogger.com
