The things they say

Coal from Santa

We were listening to the song, "Santa Clause is coming to town." And Craig wanted to know what all the words meant. So I was telling him that if you're naughty then on Christmas instead of pressent's Santa Clause will just put lumps of coal in your stocking and you'd be all sad. I said it all dramatic like so he would get the picture that it wasn't a good idea to be on Santa's Naughty list. And then much to my surprise his eyes lit up and he got this big smile on his face, then he exclaimed "unless there was a kid who wanted coal! And he was being naughty all year just so he could get that coal from Santa! Then Santa would think that the kid didn't want it but really the kid did! Oh that kids gonna be happy on Christmas!" This was followed by a very happy sigh.

I just had to laugh out loud. Now THAT my friends is looking on the bright side.

Savannah Speaks Jabberwocky.

As Savannah expands her vocabulary and how clearly she says things it's very common for us to ask Craig to help us understand what she's trying to say. He very proudly announces that he knows all the words in Jabberwocky so he can understand what she saying. Then he'll ask her to repeat what she just said and 99% of the time he can tell us what she wants. Well in the car today she was saying something and I couldn't quite hear what she was trying to say. I kept asking her to repeat it and finally she just said "Never mind. Me speak Jabberwocky." Then Craig translated for me and she said "Shoo Shoo Bobo" (translated 'Thank you Brother').

Later at home I heard here talking to herself trying to say something but she stopping and starting and changing it around, finally in frustration she called out to Craig "Bobo... What me mean?!" Haha. It was the cutest thing ever. She wanted him to tell her what she was trying to say! When they are on each others good sides they are such cute friends. I wish I could just follow them around with a video camera and watch them play. It's quite adorable.
