Counting Down...

Hey everyone!

 

I've been keeping busy getting ready for Christmas. My favorite pre-Christmas activity has been watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas." I like to watch it about once a day. While I watch it, I like to narrate each important part. For example, I say "snow," "Charlie Brown hat," "blanket," "sing."

I even have a book of "A Charlie Brown Christmas" where you push buttons and it plays the songs and has the characters talking. I loved that book so much I slept with it in my bed and early in the morning you could hear sounds of "Good Grief!" coming from my room. Unfortunately, I pushed the buttons so much, I wore the book out already.

 

This past weekend, Grandpa Steve came to visit. We did a lot of tickling and building with blocks. Here he is showing me some Charlie Brown videos on his computer.

My other favorite Christmas special is "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." I call it "The Other Cat in the Hat" because to me, anything by Dr. Seuss is the Cat in the Hat, but this is not the actual Cat in the Hat, so it's the Other Cat in the Hat. Makes perfect sense to me.

I saw Santa at a party a couple of weeks ago, but things didn't go so well. A friend took a picture of our meeting and I'm working on getting that for you guys. I do like the idea of Santa, but seeing the big guy up close makes me pretty nervous.

My buddy Owen and I went to the mall this week. Owen went right up and sat with Santa, but I'm a little bit older and wiser. I kept my distance. A little bit later, I actually asked to go back and talk to Santa, but I only got as close as the steps up to his sleigh before I changed my mind and laid down on the floor. He seems like a nice enough guy, but I think there's something fishy about him.

The choo-choo train around the mall was much more fun for me. Here we are riding it. We liked to say "All Aboard!" and of course, "Choo Choo!"

When we got home, I was a little upset that I didn't talk to Santa, so I wrote him a letter.

We've been singing some Christmas songs around here. I like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Jingle Bells."  Here are Daddy and I singing "Jingle Bells." I have my part down pretty well, I think.


Fa La La La La!
