I know, I know.... enough with the Christmas pics/videos already! But I just had this one last thing to post. During the holidays Ian became a little obsessed with Santa or Claus-Claus as he calls him. But only the inanimate ones... he wanted no parts of being anywhere near the real life one, though he would wave and say hi from a distance(hence no picture with Santa for our boy.. or girl, since she has always had an aversion to Santa, the Easter Bunny, and Clowns). He would look out the windows on the way home and just oh and ah over any blow-up or light up Claus-Claus he saw in someones yard. There was even one day that we had to ride around the neighborhood before coming home from running errands so that he could see one before we went back to the house.
Well, at his daycare they had a Santa Shop fundraiser where you could purchase neat little gifts for friends and family and the money earned went to the school/daycare. So one day I went in to work a little early just to visit said Santa Shop and found this adorable singing trio of Claus-Claus, a Snowman, and a Reindeer, who sing and dance to "Jingle Bells". It screamed"Ian will love these, buy me, buy me." So I did and wrapped them up and put them under the tree. I was right, he LOVED them after he got over the initial scare of all three of them singing and beeping. What mommy failed to realize is that when they are finished singing they beep incessantly until you push the button for them to sing again, or eventually they will cut off. Every morning when that boy bounds out of bed he is on the hunt for "Claus-Claus" and whenever they start beeping he has to run and find them no matter where they are or what he may be in the process of doing. We have even tried hiding them from him since they are SO annoying and we are a little tired of hearing Jingle Bells, but he either manages to find them or he just looks and looks for them and gets upset when he can't find them.
