It is amazing what kids remember. I just started thinking about this yesterday when I bravely decided to take Lily (after-daycare, sans-nap) AND Owen to Del Amo Mall. In desperation for what I imagined was to come, I told Lily that if she was good the entire time at the mall, I would let her have ice cream. She actually was quite good the whole time, but we ran out of time to get some at the mall. So we drove all the way home and as we pulled up to the house she says, "Where's Daddy...is he getting me my ice cream???"
Also, through the holidays there were 2 billboards on our normal route home from Grandma and Grandpa's. They were Coca-Cola billboards with the iconic Santa drinking a Coca-Cola bottle.
Lily loved these billboards. Every time we would drive by she'd say something like, "SANTA!!! He's drinking his juice!!!" or "Be careful Santa, don't spill it!!!". The day they took those billboards down was a sad one for her. She STILL says "Where's SANTA?!??!" every time we drive by those exact billboards.
