What you need to know about Reindeer

Disclaimer: I LOVE the preschool that both kids attend. I'm constantly marveling at the learning that is taking place for both of them. Reina counted to seven the other day and Will's always telling us some new random fact that he picked up. But sometimes, it appears that the information goes a little astray. Here's the conversation we had last night on the way home from school....


Me: Will, you just have one more day of school this week and then you get to stay home with Mommy and Dad and Reina. We're going to make some cookies and watch movies and get ready for Christmas! Won't that be fun?

Will: We need to leave carrots for the reindeer. And cookies for Santa.

Me: Okay, that's a good idea. Do reindeer like carrots?

Will: Yes. Reindeer like to eat bears and hay and fish.

Me: Really? Where did you hear that?

Will: They can also climb trees. Well, the baby reindeer can't climb trees but the mommies and daddy reindeer climb trees. But not the babies. Babies don't climb trees.

Me: Are you sure that reindeer climb trees?

Will: Yes.

Me: Hmmm. What else did you learn today?
