Joanie the Elf!! Santa dropped Joanie off at our house on December 2nd and the boys were soooooo excited. Will has been talking about Joanie for the past month now so he couldn't wait for him to get here. I was looking forward to Joanie's arrival primarily for the disciplinary benefits. If the boys are misbehaving, we tell them that Joanie is going to tell Santa. I think last year this tactic worked a little better than it has been working this year. Jack in particular doesn't seem to be buying the "threat". However, this doesn't stop me from threatening no presents from Santa. I'll march over to Joanie and talk to him about what the boys were doing asking him to report back to Santa. Someday when the boys realized the truth about Joanie, they are going to call me out for having a conversation with a doll. haha!
Secretly I was looking forward to Joanie's arrival as well since it means the start of the holiday season. I feel like a kid again and I can't wait for Christmas to arrive!
