127 Days and Counting

West is obsessed with the book Twas the Night Before Christmas right now. Usually I pack all the Christmas books away with the Christmas decorations so we only have to suffer through reading them at Christmas time. Uh, I mean so we can treasure reading them at Christmas time. Somehow this book was overlooked and we have been reading it before every nap and bedtime for the past month. Nothing fills me with Christmas spirit more than blazing sunshine and 100 degree weather.

What's really funny is that West has no idea who Santa is or what he does, yet he always wants to skip ahead to the pages in the book that have Santa's picture on them. When he sees Santa, he squeals with delight. I think because Santa dresses all in red fur West thinks he's somehow related to Elmo.

Today West asked me if Santa was going to come to our house. I told him that he would come but it's going to be a while. He'll be here in FOUR MONTHS. Then West asked me if Santa was going to put him in a basket when he got here. Like I said, the kid has no idea what Santa does.
