Dead Battery!

Apparently MJ runs on batteries.
I did not no this until today. Now this makes perfect sense. He runs around for hours then takes a brief nap (To recharge his battery) and runs around for hours on end all over again.
Today were playing outside and MJ being the cute little bugger he is asked me to pull his finger. I also did not realize his Dad must have been teaching him some new tricks. You know the pull the finger routine, don't you? Well I wanted to see where he was going with this, so I proceeded to pull his finger. Nothing. He said,  "Pull my finger" again. So I pulled his finger again. Then again, nothing. I can tell he was trying very hard to make this trick work. He was squinting his face and gave a little grunt, still nothing. He asked me a 3rd time to pull his finger and again, nothing.
He thought about the outcome for a moment then said, "Batteries dead!" and walked away.

It Was a Santa Kinda Day

Story time, Cookies, Coco and Crafts with Santa.
I am really loving that MJ is getting the whole Christmas thing. We are still working on what it means, but for now I'm okay with that. He is really picking up vibe of the season. At story time the reader asked what time of the year it was and MJ jumped up and yelled, "Christmas, It's Christmas!" He knows who Santa is. He's still a little gun shy about walking up to him and sitting on his lap, but that will change.

So this morning started off with a visit from Santa at our local library. I love the Wee Read Story time at the library. There is always singing, dancing and of course story time. MJ LOVES IT!

                                                       MJ sitting with his bud Cole.
                                                 I don't know why they were pluggin their ears.

I love watching MJ dance. He really gets into it

   This is Jordan, Cole little sis.

MJ waiting patiently for the music to start

After story time in the morning we made our way to have some Cookies and Coco with the Big Guy

MJ wanted to show Santa the stocking he just made.
This Santa was perfect. He know how to make the
kids feel comfortable enough to approach him.
Santa said to MJ, My you have grown so much since last year.
To which MJ replied, I'm a BIG boy!

MJ giving Santa a hug.

 MJ writing his letter to Santa and

Of course, his bud Mitchel was there too.
