Thank you for checking the blog, even though I haven't posted in eons. We've been busy doing Christmas-y things around here and there just hasn't been time to load pictures and come up with witty postings. I would say that I promise to be better, but that would be lying, at least for the next month or so. So, I'll just post when I can!
Josiah is at such a fun age right now and it's been a treat to teach him (attempt to teach him) about Advent and Christmas. It's great to watch him as he sees lights and Christmas trees and everything else for the first time!
One of those new things is a Fisher-Price Nativity Set that Josiah got for Advent. It arrived via UPS during his nap one day, so I set it up nicely on the coffee table, with visions of him playing with all the characters and putting them in their places around the stable. Not so...here is what happened when toddler King Kong disrupted peaceful Bethlehem...
We're trying to use it to teach him about Mary, Joseph, & Baby Jesus. About the shepherds, angels, and wise men. So far, his favorite is the donkey pulling a cart. This donkey goes "vroom, vroom" all over the house and has given rides to all of the other people and animals. Now he even points out the donkey in any Christmas story we read. At least he knows something about the Christmas story!

I had to laugh when I read about Josiah's experience with the nativity scene. We have the same nativity for
Owen and his favorite activity is to take the people and throw them as far across the room as possible. He also only knows one of the characters: he calls Mary "the mama" and carries her around the house. At least he picked up on one thing we told him!
Hannah has that exact set! My mom gave it to her and she loves it. She still plays with it at age 5. Hope all is well with you! It was good seeing you at your mom's party! Hope to see you at Christmas!
