Did anyone else start Elf on a Shelf this week? Santa dropped our package by my parents' house (where we were staying over the weekend) the day after Thanksgiving. At first, I wasn's too sure if DD understood it or not. She's only 2.5, so I thought it might be a little over her head. We read the book and watched the video, but she couldn't think of a name for her elf, and she didn't seem very interested. The next day, she did seem a little more excited to look for her elf and went ahead and named her (Rosie). DD still didn't seem to care that much about it, though, and after the initial 5 minute "elf hunt" in the morning, she forgot about Rosie for the rest of the day.

Something happened on Saturday, though, and all of sudden everything seemed to click! DD woke up super excited to find Rosie, and all day she talked about how her elf was watching her and how she couldn't touch Rosie or she'd lose all her magic. It was so much fun! And this morning, DD was just as excited. She couldn't wait to get to daycare to tell all her friends about Rosie the Elf!

Anyone else start Elf on the Shelf this year? How is it going so far?
