We are getting ready for our first Christmas with Adelyn. We strung lights outside, trimmed the tree, decorated the house and explained the story of Baby Jesus to Adelyn. She is beginning to comprehend the whole idea of Christmas. It was really sweet watching her fix up the manger and kiss Baby Jesus. She really liked playing with the animals too. And of course she is extremely excited about the "pessants" (ie presents). This Santa Claus person is a little scary to her and she keeps her distance but we have been reading "Twas the night before Christmas," and "Dora Christmas" to ease her fears. Lately, "Frosty the Snowman" has been a hit. She really enjoys the story and loves to sing the song. We couldn't get her to watch the Frosty cartoon at all. The only TV show that captivates her is "Little Einsteins." She also absolutely loves the movie "Alvin and the Chipmunks." She asks to watch this movie at least once a day and will watch almost the whole thing like she's never seen it before. She calls it "oopunks." She tries sooo hard to say Chipmunks but just can't pronounce this complicated word! It's funny to listen to her recite phrases throughout the movie as they happen or before they happen since she has watched it so much.
What's on Adelyn's wish list? Roller skates, elbow pads, play-doh and gum. We hope Santa pulls through....
