Lydia's Thoughts on Santa and Being Good

This morning, Robin told Lydia she should write a letter to Santa and ask for one thing she really wanted for Christmas. Lydia wanted to ask for a lot of things. Robin explained to her that there are a lot of kids and she should only ask for one gift so that everyone gets something. Lydia thought on this and then said, "But a lot of the kids are naughty, so they won't get gifts." The conversation then shifted into what Santa thinks of naughty kids. I asked what Santa would think of Lydia's mischief of this morning--sneaking sweets out of the cupboard before breakfast. She thought on this and said with confidence, "Santa doesn't need me to be PERFECT, just GOOD."

That's my girl.
