Some Sounds of the Season

We have been very blessed that our children have really not had many cases of the "Give-mes". They will sometimes see things in a store and ask if they can have them, but they really don't dwell on things they want. When people have asked what they want for Christmas, they don't even know what to say. Elizabeth finally said she wants a violin, but does not have anything else on her list.

However, last week we went into a store and I immediately heard, "We NEEEEEED That!" Josiah learned a new phrase...and applied it to almost everything we saw. If it were groceries or something, I would just tell him we already had it or we don't use it. If it was a toy, I would say, "You want that, you don't need it." He kept at it for a few days of errands.

Then, the other day I heard a new phrase. "Oh Mommy, I Loooove That." Guess he's trying a new tactic ;-) At least he doesn't just apply it to himself. We bought something for a friend, and he immediately said, "Oh she'll love that!"

This morning Josiah was creating his own Christmas Smash-up song.

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Old MacDonald had a farm E-I-E-I-O-O with a moo moo moo and a moo moo moo
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
Old MacDonald had a farm in a one horse open sleigh.

Love it!
