Jingle Bell Rocker and Hollywood Coat


Avery

We read a story, pray and sing bedtime songs each night with Avery.  When asked what bedtime song he wanted, several nights in a row he requested “Jingle Bell ROCK!” (with a rocker style fist pump).

Avery asked, “How does Santa go around to the houses if the earth is spinning?”

At preschool drop off, Avery was so excited to see his teacher walking into the building.  He ran across the parking lot and approached her with an excited “Hello!”  Then, he held out his hand and escorted her into the school.

Avery seems to enjoy playing with Aileen’s toys almost as much as his own.  His little sister was given a doll that recites a “Play and Learn” lyric tune.  Given the fact that the doll’s voice sounds a bit muffled, Avery mistaken it to say “Play and Nart”, so he calls it her Nart doll.

Since being given a Star Wars play light saber for Christmas, Avery has asked to watch Star Wars movies.  We caught him “fighting” Darth Vader with all his might in front of the TV.


Aileen

She happily coos and ahhs when we put her in her bedtime footie jammies.  She loves wearing them.

Aileen prefers not to wear socks.  She pulls them off, one at a time to chew on the toes each time we try to put them on.

The nursery workers at church comment on how happy Aileen is.  She contently crawls around, and even occasionally stops to look up and giggle at one of the workers.

Aileen is not supposed to be in Avery’s room unsupervised because of the many small toys that could be hazardous.  However, that doesn’t stop Avery from trying to lure her down the hallway back to his lair by beckoning her with the use of her musical toys in his room.

Little Miss was given a winter coat that is white and furry with Dalmatian black spots.  We call it her “Hollywood” coat.
