Meeting Mr.Claus

~ Etc.

Aiden was unimpressed with Mr. Claus.  But maybe it was because we had just woken him up prior to the picture and he had no idea what was going on.  He is Mr. Smiles and will smile at anyone that makes eye contact with him, and I wish we had taken a picture of him looking at Santa and smiling!  I felt rushed by my husband because he didn’t want to take too much time since there was a line behind us(and also he hates pictures and rushes me every time pictures are involved), but I am so so bummed I didn’t think to do it.  I guess there’s always next year and I hope my little boy will still be Mr. Smiles then.  
Perhaps another reason why Aiden was unimpressed was because he was just following Mr. Claus.  Doesn’t Santa took so bored and unimpressed?  Or pissed off and angry even?  He looked just like that in every single picture we took!  Maybe he is smiling beneath his long white beard but he just needs to take a lesson from Tyra Banks and work on his smizing.

What is a Wookiee?

~ Etc.

My daughter who is in Kindergarten goes to the library every week as a classroom and brings home a book to read.   She recently brought home a book titled, “What is a Wookiee?”  It’s been one of my most proud moments as a mother.  We told her how this book is based on the movie Star Wars, and we showed her the movie and she’s been hooked ever since.  She’s watched the first three and wants to keep going!  The first time she watched the movie she whispered to me excitedly, “Mommy, mommy!  Is this movie in real life?”
