Christmas Comments 1

I'm going to be asking several Christmas-related questions on this blog throughout the holiday season, and I encourage you all to participate by leaving a comment! This is a especially extended to all you blog "lurkers" - those who read this blog but never comment. Let this be your first time!

Question #1: What's the best Christmas present you've ever received?

(Note: Cheesy, intangible gifts, like "respect from my boss" are not acceptable. I'm looking for an actual present under the tree that you loved!!)

A Million Questions

I hope I don't sound boastful when I say that Micah is a very precocious child. His little mind is always working full speed. Frankly, it's a little exhausting for me to keep up with. He's constantly bombarding me with questions: "What does this button do? Why is that green? How do you spell. . .? What day is it? What does this arrow mean? What does that sign say?"

Don't get me wrong; I'm happy that he's so inquisitive and bright. But today, during a trip to WalMart, I was just too tired to continue to answer his constant output of inquiries.

Me, joking: "Micah, no more questions today! You don't always have to be so curious!"

Micah: "What does 'curious' mean?"

Take that, Mommy.

Still Thinking Pink

For those keeping score:

Pink eye: 3

The Triumphal Entry

No, Christian readers, I'm not talking about Jesus' return to Jerusalem on a donkey on Palm Sunday.

I'm talking about this:



The glorious return of all the Thomas trains and track to our newly (re)carpeted basement! No more tripping over these darn tracks in our living room, dining room, or kitchen. They are all downstairs now. Hallelujah!

Our 2 1/2-Year-Old Teenager

Yesterday, as I was trying to assist Eli in the bathroom:

Eli: "Go outside! I need some pwivacy!"

Today, as I was trying to gently wake up Eli by opening his curtain just a crack:

Eli (covering his eyes): "No! There's alweady sunwight in here!"
