This holiday season has been extra special because Josh has been getting so excited for Christmas. He is old enough, now, that he can do so many things that he couldn't do last year: he can help me wrap presents, he can plug in the Christmas tree lights, he can hang decorations on the tree, he can decorate a gingerbread house, he can open the windows on the advent calendar, and keep track of the number of days until Christmas. One thing that surprises me is that he is not acting selfish about getting presents this year, and he doesn't scream or beg for toys when we browse a toy store. In fact, I am having a hard time deciding what to get him for Christmas this year, because he doesn't really want much. He has trains and that's really all he wants. Instead of talking about what he wants, he talks about what he wants to get for other people. He even asked me what I wanted for Christmas!
Over the last few months, Josh has blossomed in his drawing capacity and has increased the details of his train drawings--he now includes passengers on the trains! It's so wonderful that a simple pen and pad of paper can provide hours upon hours of enjoyment for his little imagination! I love it--
I couldn't ask for anything more!
As a train lover, all Josh really wants for Christmas is a new train to add to his collection and a stocking full of coal! (No joke, that's really what he said he wants!)
