This guy, SinterKlaas(he is NOT Santa) has come to the Netherlands again since this weekend.. It's a typical Dutch tradtion. He has come to bring gifts for childeren who have been nice. They can put their shoes at the door before they go to sleep so he can put a gift in it during the night. For kids it’s always something to look incredibly forward to. But as a parent it’s a whole different story..it feels more like terror! My son is now waking up numerous times during the night, thinking, and even worse, talking out loud about if and what he will find in his shoe when I get’s up in the morning..then before six in the morning he will start asking if I will go with him in to see what he got..AAAHaaaCH, because he is afraid to go alone! Okay, I know...I should be more supportive, I was always just like him, super excited and thinking of nothing else during these three weeks every year..But I need my sleep, I am old now!!!!!
This is what he wrote on the drawing:
'I make a drawing for you, because my mommy is working...'
And then he writes, 'From mommy..' (as if i had made it for Sinterklaas). He is so sweet!!!
They had al lot of fun this morning dressing up :-)
