Eli is learning more and more about Christmas each day. He already told me that people sing "Hap. Birt-day. Zheesus." on Christmas, but now he knows who Mary and Joseph are too. I told Eli a watered-down version of the Chistmas Story a few nights ago, and one day when we were walking I told him Mary and Joseph were the (earthly) parents of Jesus, but that's it. Then today while Lehr was feeding Eli, he told him "May-ry. Zhosep. Zheesus Mommy-Daddy." Very cool! And even though half of the time he mistakenly identifies him as "Zheesus", Eli is learning to recognize Santa Claus. Though he calls him "Sin-ta Caws" instead.
Today we decorated our tree and strung the lights while Eli napped. Then after dinner (when it was dark outside), we turned off all the interior lights and lit up the tree so Eli could see it for the first time. Wow - his eyes got pretty big! Then he helped Daddy with a few outdoor lights. Much excitement for Eli today!
