We hope that this letter finds you well. Mama and I have just completed our sixth Christmas together. We’ve come a long way. This year we have made an extra effort to help Underfoot and K2 understand the real reason why we celebrate Christmas. Each day we have learned a different part of the Christmas story, starting with the creation of the world.
Here are some funny stories for the week.
K2 loves to pour liquids from one container to another. We frequently find him on the floor dumping the contents of a cup into another worthwhile container.One morning Mama found him drinking water from one of Underfoot’ shoes. Mama thought it was so funny that she called me at work, so I could share the story with my coworkers.
When people would ask Underfoot if Santa was coming to his house, he would say, “No. The Three Kings are coming. Santa brings 1 present. The Three Kings bring 3.”
On Christmas Eve we did some last minute shopping and drove around our neighborhood to see the lights. Underfoot would look at the lights and say, “Mama, I see Christmas.”
Last night Underfoot looked at me and said, “Daddy, don’t talk to me, I’m telling Mama about my day.” (His sweet honesty shines through.)
K2 loves to say C’mon. He will push on me until I get up and follow him (or carry him) to wherever it is that he wants to go. Frequently it is to the fridge. K2 loves Eggnog. He has consumed approximately a quart of the stuff all by himself. Of course, that includes the cupful that he poured into his plate and tried to drink. He soon discovered that plates make horrible cups. The thick, gooey goodness found its way all over him and the table.
Underfoot has really taken to coloring. He loves to sit with a coloring book on the floor and a bag of crayons. He is learning how to share with his brother. It is fun to watch Underfoot and K2 play together. K2 loves the sound a crayon makes when he snaps it in half.
We put together a gingerbread bread house. K2 would dip the candy in the frosting and then drop it in the same spot. We had a nice pile of candy right next to the chimney.
