The Big Guy Up There...or Up North

Yesterday, I reminded Kaelan (for the 800th time) that I was watching her and hoping to catch her doing something good/kind/nice/not hazardous, so I could give her a sticker on her chart....you know POSITIVE reinforcement?
Anyhow, Kaelan crawled up on my lap and asked me, "Mom, is God watching me and wanting me to be nice?".
"Yep. All the time...when you are sleeping and when you are at school...God is always wanting you to make good choices. It makes him very happy," I replied.
"Like Santa?", she asked with wide eyes. "Does God work for Santa?"
"Not exactly...more like the other way around!", I told her.
The good news is now she believes there are 3 sets of eyes always watching out for her good behavior. Maybe that will pressure her into being good....that, and the presents.
