CHRISTMAS (19 MONTHS, 1 WK)

S's 2nd Christmas was very special. She was more interested in what was going on around her. She enjoyed pulling off the wrapping paper (at snail speed). She doesn't understand the concept of Christmas but has become enamoured with "snowman" this season. She enjoys looking at the inflatable snowman that is in front of the neighbor's house. Her favorite song is "Frosty the Snowman" and momma and daddy sing it two or three times every night, right before bedtime.

Her favorite gifts were the Elmo videos, the shopping cart, and Elmo (himself). S sleeps every night with Elmo.
