I was worried that we would be rushing Biscuit's Christmas time by spending time away from home on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, but he seemed to have a good time with everybody and went right along with whatever we were doing.
We took Biscuit to see Santa, and he also has several Christmas-related books, so when Christmas morning came, he sorta got it.
The first problem we had was that he slept late ... really late for him. Biscuit is usually up by 7:30 a.m. at the latest. Even on Saturdays and Sundays. He doesn't understand the sleeping-late-on-weekends thing yet. So I got up, got some things ready for our trip later that day, and waited ... and waited ... and waited. Jeff got up, and I made him some coffee.
"He's not awake," I said.
"That's okay. Let him sleep as long as he wants to," Jeff said.
"WHAT?!? It's Christmas morning. He needs to be awake. Santa came! Go poke him," I said to Jeff.
"I'm not going to poke him," Jeff said.
Luckily, I heard Biscuit start stirring upstairs. Then he started yelling for Jeff to come get him.
When you step out of Biscuit's room, you can look over the loft railing down into the living room. Jeff went up to get Biscuit, and when they stepped out to the railing, I got his attention from downstairs. Biscuit's eye immediately went to a big red dump truck. "Need dump truck, Dad. Need dump truck."
Jeff brought Biscuit downstairs, and he went straight for the truck. Then he sorta staggered back and started to take it all in. "Got books, Mom. Oooo. Guitar." He grabbed the guitar and started pushing buttons. The guitar has buttons and levers instead of strings and each one plays a different snippet of a song. And luckily, it has an off button, too.
Biscuit almost looked over a red bucket of vehicles. They're very simply made, and they all link to each other. The bucket includes cars, trucks, boats, airplanes, trains and helicopters. He took one of each out and named them and made their appropriate noises. "Chugga, chugga, chugga, chugga, choo-choooooo."
All in all, it was a fun morning. Here are a couple of pictures.
