So Griffin is absolutely adorable about Christmas this year. I guess it's because he is more aware of what Christmas is now. The other night we were driving home from a friend's house and he noticed Christmas lights. He got so excited and asked me to make sure Daddy put up Christmas lights at home. So we drove through our neighborhood to see if anyone had their lights up yet and one person had lots of lights. We were holding hands we often do (I put my hand in the back seat on his lap and we hold hands that way). As soon as we pulled up he got so excited and gasped at them! It was sooooo cute. At one point I let go of his hand and as we drove off he said, "Mommy, will you please hold my hand again?". So I held his hand and told him holding his hand was one of my favorite things to do, and he responded with, "I like holding your hand too mommy". I about died. That's why I'm writing about it so I never forget it!
Saturday we were in Publix and Feliz Navidad came over the speakers. He heard it and immediately started singing "Meliz Mamidad" over and over. That night in the bath he asked me to sing it for him so I sang the entire chorus and he sang along with me. He pronounced the spanish words pretty well! Then, this morning he decided we were the doodle bops and he made an announcement through a funnel he found in the kitchen. He yelled, "ladies and gentelmen, it's the doodle bops". Then he made me stand up in the middle of the living room and sing Meliz Mamidad and play a pretend guitar. It was so funny. Then it was his turn and after I announced him he sat on the fireplace and performed for Todd all the while playing the "kapano" (that's his word for Piano).
I swear, this kid gets more and more adorable every freaking day!!! And smart too, he even remembered how to sound out the spanish words for Feliz Navidad, which will now always be called "Meliz Mamidad". So in the Christmas spirit, "MELIZ MAMIDAD EVERYONE!"
