Red Ninja Claus!
The thing I’m discovering about having David is that the boy definitely has a sense of humour. And an imagination. And that their perception and interpretation of things is often very different from an adult’s perspective. 
Case in point: deciding that he’d like to get dressed up as Santa this morning, the little munchkin found his Santa hat. Now, I would have thought that would be enough. But, what do I know. See, from David’s perspective, Santa is made up of five things: hat, boots, gloves, belt and beard.
So, hat? Check. Boots? Wearing his ug-boots so, check. Gloves? Hmmm…those oven mits will work. Check. Belt? That sparkly scarf thingy that Mummy has in the dress up - that looks kinda like a belt. Check.
Now, what to do about a beard? Let’s look at his thought process:
“Hmmmm….beard. Beardy beardy beard. A beard is sort of long…and flowing-ish I guess. Cotton wool? None to hand. Daddy’s shaving foam? Probably not good given the reaction from him last time I decided to play with that. This is a tricky one.
Wait a minute! I know! How about a tea-towel? Brilliant!”
Wait…what?!? Yep, you read right - after getting a red tea-towel tied around his face, Santa was reborn in our living room, where he proceeded to provide us with a concert from his stage upon the couch.
However, as the photos below show, he ended up looking more like a cute little red ninja than Santa. :) Cute and ninja don’t usually go in the same sentence together, but I’ll let you be the judge:
(We’ve got other photos if you want to have a look)
What will he think of next?
Not much to report
David is doing well. He continues to make us laugh with his little sayings. My favourite is when he says “awww…not to worry” when something breaks or spills, or when he asks “all better now?” whenever someone hurts themself. I’m trying to catch his very cute “thumbs up” with winking and mouth open on video. If I succeed, I’ll put it up on the blog.
Baby #2 is kicking and having a great ol’ time giving Mummy a run for her money. And getting bigger. And that’s about it from that end.
So, a bit boring this week really. I’m sure there’s plenty of other interesting things on the internets for you to go have a look at, so I’ll try to come up with some more interesting news next week.
