Christmas is coming soon.  With Connor’s hardwork, the preparation has started after Thanksgiving was over.  Connor has been learning how to draw many Christmas related objects.  He sometimes draws in the morning as soon as he wakes up and in the evening after dinner.  He creates more of those beautiful drawings during free time at school too.  He has declared to us: “I am going to keep drawing Christmas things until Christmas”.  Connor has been decorating his room too.  He started by putting up some gel window stickers few weeks ago.  Last week he removed all the old photos from his magnetic board, and replaced with some ornaments and the photos strips we received from the holiday party.  He was so proud to tell us “My room has the most Christmas decorations!”

 
     We almost forgot to take Elfie out until last week when Logan suddenly asked “Where is that little guy?  What’s his name?”  Connor did not quite remember about the elf initially but quickly got reminded.  Since then Stuart and I try our best moving him every night and we have not failed yet.  The boys are excited and look for Elfie in a new location every morning.  However the boys seem to be convinced that we are the ones indeed moving Elfie rather than magic as they had said “Daddy is tall enough to put him up there”.  Elfie had a casualty one day.  I put him on top of the canvas and apparently it was a not safe place.  As Connor and I came home from school one day, Connor yelled “Elfie is down!  Elfie is down!”  Poor Elfie was down on his tummy on the counter.  For the rest of the night, we had to tell the boys that we could not touch him and that Elfie could not move himself either as to not show his magic.  Fortunately Elfie has found more stable positions since then.
