David was put in Time Out at Rachel's house, and when he was in Avery's room, he decided to "Make something beautiful for Avery!" but then, "Can you help me cut it?" What he made was just some scribbles of different colors, but in some kind of pattern, and surrounded by a box, which I had to follow the design of when cutting around it, but leaving some space. He knew what he wanted...
Christmas Eve I had to take the boy to the allergist, who says he's just fine. David has grown an inch since Thanksgiving, I have found out. He's now 43 and a half inches. We opened the gifts from each other, which made David pretty happy. He was running and running and running all over the place at Rachel's, because Jared and Avery had so much energy and excitement.
Wednesday David and I went to the store to look for his mom's gift...we'd already found something for Colleen, and I'm not sure how to handle David getting something for Tait, so we just let that one go. We also just spent a good part of the day with Rachel and Jared and Avery...In particular, David got a message from Santa: http://portablenorthpole.tv/watch/f9cfc0a98a67c1e5bc362c95166bdb3a. What was interesting is that David responded when Santa asked if he'd been a good boy, and to other questions that were posed to David. It really was something to see.
Tuesday he went to school like normal...and then after that we went to the "Church Street Christmas" up in Dade City, FL, where there are churches and houses lit with Christmas lights, and carolers roaming around. David, of course (at the this point) was having none of it. He says he likes Christmas music, but doesn't like the live singing for whatever reason. I'll even hear him singing (in some detail) the lyrics of some songs, like "Jingle Bell Rock". He just sings rather spontaneously, which I like. Maybe it's just one of those things...
