This year instead of a chocolate Advent calendar with the little doors, Nana and PopPop found this Advent calendar in which you put sticks on each day to finish the Nativity scene.
It's super cute and Gavin loves to put the stickers on the picture. He always counts the empty spaces when we put a new sticker on. He looks forward to putting the stickers on.
I have a hard time just giving him the sticker and showing him the white outline of where it's supposed to go. I let him put the sticker down all by himself. Sometimes it's not turned the right way or in the exact spot but he gets really close. I am trying real hard not to be OCD about it because he is proud of himself when he put it down. :)
Today we put down the palm tree. If you notice in the picture it is turned sideways. I was going to let it go... but Gavin noticed it and pulled the palm tree up and fixed it so it was standing straight up! I was so proud; first that he noticed it and second he knew how to fix it!
Not only are we counting down to Christmas but the Advent is its own little mini lesson.
Thanks Nana and PopPop.
