Crafty Baby

Dearest Joshua David~

Hello little sweetie!

Today was a crafty day! Let me explain .... every year for Christmas, we draw names for a Secret Santa gift on mommy's side of the family. Then, you have to make a craft that represents the person you have. Each year the craft item changes. For example, we've done sponges, bottle of water, clothes pin, glove, sock, painter's hat, terracotta pot, written a story about the person, drew the person, paper bag, door hanger, etc. This year, the craft was a stocking. So, instead of purchasing a stocking to decorate, we made stockings for our Secret Santa people! Well .... actually .... daddy made the stockings while I took care of you. Look at what a good job he did!

The first one represents a person who likes pirates, specifically the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean." The second one represents someone who was in the marines when he was younger. And the third one represents someone in the family who is in a bowling league! You, technically, did the stocking for the marines person, since that's the person whose name you drew. I'll tell you who each person is after Christmas! Oh, and I forgot to tell you, we vote on the best craft each year and that person gets a prize! I can explain more about the prizes later.

Today you were fussy again. You seem to have a hard time falling asleep unless someone is holding you. Both your grandmothers came to see you today and you fell asleep in their arms.

Tomorrow we have our other pediatrician visit. You'll get your two month shots. Gigi is coming with us. She might have to hold my hand if you cry too much! ;-)

Sleep tight little one!

I love you! :-)
