Merry Christmas

Sorry this is a day late. Calvin wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

(Again, this video can't be seen on iPads and iPhones.)

More Christmas Time Fun

We took Calvin to an "event" of sorts that was a field of Christmas lights displays that you drive through. He LOVED all the lights. At the end, there was a train that he found quite fascinating. 

This is the face Calvin makes when you ask him to smile sometimes. Ridiculous.  He really was enjoying himself.

 There were so many different trains for him to watch.

 It was hard to get him to take his eyes off of it.

He did NOT want to leave this train. Good thing they have this every year!

Pickles

There are certain ways you can tell Calvin is his mother's son...

 

I, too, love my pickles!

(The video cannot be seen on iPads or iPhones, sorry!)

Santa's Lap

Last year, Calvin was absolutely perfect sitting on Santa's lap.

This was last year.

 This year, not so much.

Sigh. 

Calvin actually talks about his traumatic experience. It goes, "Santa lap, Calvin sad."

Try again next year.

Lights!

Calvin has loved looking at all the Christmas lights that are all over this time of year. On the way to dinner the other night we stopped to let him run around in a park that had a lot of lights. 

You'll see why he went for this set of lights first. 

 It had a ball!

 Hmmm. What else to see?

 There was a fun gazebo to play on.

 And it had a Christmas tree to pose in front of.

 Calvin liked to inspect each light bulb.

 Luckily they were not hot.

It was a chilly, fun time!

That's Entertainment

Calvin can find entertainment anywhere he goes as long as he is allowed to move around. I took him to a craft show of sorts today that was at an old theater. After being a very cooperative boy for an hour, I had to let him burn some energy. The only open area was in an empty bar area. 

 I had no idea a foot rest could be a source of so much fun.

 You can sit on it.

 And climb on it.

 And lay on it.

 And climb behind it.

 And ride it.

Thank you, empty bar area, for being such a fun place!

Pop-Pop Popped By

Yesterday, we had a nice visit from Calvin's Pop-Pop. Just a quick stopover because he was in town for business. 

There were many things Calvin had to do with this surprise visitor. 

 He had to play with the toy Pop-Pop brought.

He had to show him one of his photo albums.

He had to show Pop-Pop how he swims on the floors and wanted Pop-Pop to swim, too. 

Pop-Pop was a good sport and swam on the floor.

Swimming wasn't hard. 

It was the getting up part.

He had to show that he can swim in the kitchen, too. 

 And, of course, he had to show Pop-Pop some blocks.

 Thanks for stopping by, Pop-Pop!
