This Christmas has already been so much more fun now that we have little Nora to share things with! Even though she surely doesn’t understand it all, she loves all the lights, trees, decorations, and most of all, Santa!
Nora’s obsession with Santa began a couple of weeks ago after we started reading a book called Baby’s First Christmas. It’s a really cute book that just has simple pictures of common Christmas things: a Christmas tree, presents, candy canes, etc. We look at the book, point to each picture and say what it is. Nora really took a liking to Santa, and she learned how to say it really well, really fast! Now she points him out all over the place. (He really is everywhere!) And now she’s even started saying, “Ho, ho, ho” after she says “Santa” most times (though I’m yet to catch that on video!) It’s the first thing she says when she wakes up (literally), and the last thing she says before she goes to bed. While she won’t sit still for any type of cartoon or kid’s show, she’ll stand and dance and watch YouTube videos of animated Christmas songs (as long as the iPad is out of her reach!) The girl really, really loves Santa!
Her obsession is simultaneously hilarious, and the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen. I’m not sure what we’re going to do when Christmas is over! We may have to start celebrating year round!
Hopefully I’ll be able to catch a “ho,ho,ho” on video soon to add to this post as well. This is one Christmas memory I don’t ever want to forget!
