kinsley melts my heart with her kindness. yes, she is crazy with energy and a little on the impulsive side, but what 3-year-old isn't? but something about her innocence just gets me. she is so passionate already as a tiny little human. watching her open presents at yaya and papa's today was priceless. and afterwards, watching her go up to each of them and give them huge hugs and say, "thank you for the presents, yaya and papa. i love you" made me so proud of her. she was so genuinely grateful. i can't wait for tomorrow morning for her to see that santa has come.
but with her passion comes great emotion. that kid has more emotion than a lot of adults that i know. it makes me nervous for the day that she starts questioning santa. i have a feeling that she will be absolutely traumatized if she is told that santa is not real. and that breaks my heart. but then i saw this letter posted on facebook written from a mom and dad to their son who questioned santa. this letter made me feel so much better about when that day comes for us. it provides such a beautiful explanation that is comprehendable to a child and yet doesn't break the child's spirit or make them feel as though everything has been a lie. it is about the true spirit of santa and christmas.
i'll be holding on to this one.
