Your response cracked me up. Santa is very exciting but presents - a mystery. :)</p> <p>All of your responses were so interesting! LO will be 26 months next Christmas so I think it will likely not completely click, but I am still excited :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-understand-santa-this-year#post-1998925 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 13:52:18 +0000 winniebee 1998925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah he got it this year at 31 mos </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-understand-santa-this-year#post-1998905 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 13:07:14 +0000 JerricaBenton 1998905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much at 22 months. She recognizes and loves Santa and elves and reindeer. She knows it's all very exciting and Santa comes to the house with presents and I think she got leaving the cookies and milk because she checked that first and said 'Santa eats cookies!' Lol. Once the presents were being opened she was a little overwhelmed and kinda forgot about what was from Santa and what was from us or others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-understand-santa-this-year#post-1998811 Sat, 27 Dec 2014 10:51:54 +0000 cascademom 1998811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He sort of understands it at almost 2.5 years old. We attributed a fair amount of gifts to Santa and did the cookie thing. He enjoyed it quite a bit. We're pro-Santa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-understand-santa-this-year#post-1998035 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 08:26:13 +0000 Purpledaisy 1998035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, not all at almost 22 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-understand-santa-this-year#post-1997981 Fri, 26 Dec 2014 01:17:08 +0000 Corduroy 1997981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 22 months. She knows<br /> (1) Santa brings presents<br /> (2) Santa is the guy in the red suit<br /> (3) Santa is very exciting<br /> (4) You can track Santa on a smart phone</p> <p>She does not know<br /> (1) What the word "presents" means<br /> (2) Any details about Santa</p> <p>She got lots of toys on Christmas morning. She did not mention Santa or "presents". I'm sure tomorrow she would still squeal " Santa brings presents" with total glee and no thought of toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-understand-santa-this-year#post-1997943 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 22:58:50 +0000 Andrea 1997943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They know Santa, but I don't have Santa give them presents. Not sure what they think of him ... just a person associated with Christmas somehow ... like reindeer, snowmen, gingerbread men, etc ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-understand-santa-this-year#post-1997937 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 22:28:13 +0000 jmarionsmith 1997937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>he got that santa was going to bring presents but i don't think he was sure he wanted santa in his house. (he definitely didn't like the idea of santa watching him)</p> <p>but when he saw all the gifts on christmas morning he said "santa!" and just stood in awe, then later he randomly said "i love santa." pretty cute. he's 28 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-understand-santa-this-year#post-1997928 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 21:57:43 +0000 mrsjyw 1997928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He'd say Santa when we said presents or mentioned new toys, but not sure he gets the whole idea of Santa and good boys and girls who get gifts! He's two! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-lo-understand-santa-this-year#post-1997905 Thu, 25 Dec 2014 21:11:07 +0000 birdofafeather 1997905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, other than saying, Santa!

She asked him for a bike when she sat in his lap, but she was super super worried he was going to come in her room and we had to keep telling her he would only come downstairs!
