Tess- I wanna have pears.
Me- We don't have any pears. Would you like an apple?
Tess- No, I wanna have pears.
Me- Ok, but we don't have any pears. We have apples, and bananas, and oranges, but no pears. Do you want a banana?
Tess- No! No, I wanna pears!
(she wanders away for a bit, then comes back carefully carrying all the candles from the Advent wreath. She comes over and carefully hands me each one and says, "Pears! I wanna have these pears!"
Me- Tess, we don't have any pears! (Then a light bulb finally goes on) Oh! You want to have PRAYERS?!
Tess- Yes! Yes, I wanna have these pears!
So, we did. Even though it wasn't prayer time. Because she worked so hard for it. :)

Oh, what a sweetie! That story melts my heart (and it is pretty stony right now because my 2 and 5 year olds just got in a huge fight over who got to do what when I said we were going to put up the outside lights. SO I sent them to their rooms and said, Christmas is canceled!) Hope your advent is going better than mine!
