The presents are wrapped, the bags are packed and we are ready for Nanaimo whenever Glenn gets home from work. M and I are spending the day watching Elmo's Christmas Countdown for what feels like the millionth time. Over and over again. He's lucky that it's not too annoying and it has good music. I mean really, who doesn't want a Snuffleupagus for Christmas? That's way better than a hippopotamus. And the Count is right.... why does it have to be Three Ships sailing in? Why can't it be eight or ten?
Tonight and tomorrow M will discover the joy of Christmas which at his age will be all about ripping the paper off the present and he might care what's inside for about 2 seconds. I happen to know a couple of the things he's getting and one of them is a new ride on toy. He has recently started to appreciate ride on toys. His latest favorite is the dog. He likes to climb on her back while she's napping and bounce up and down while hanging on to her fur or her ears depending on what he can reach. He proceeds to yell "Whee!!" as loud as possible until Mokey finally decides she's had enough of being bounced on and she sits up. Naturally this causes M to slide to the floor and does not please him. After being dumped on the floor he always tries at least once more to get her to lie down so he can ride her again. Sometimes she complies but usually she just walks into another room. I am so glad we have a dog with such a good nature.
Here's hoping Mokey gets a break tomorrow. I'm sure that will be a nice Christmas present for her. Let's also hope that M doesn't open too many presents that don't belong to him.
Merry Christmas everyone. I hope you all have lovely dreams filled with Christmas Eve magic.
