Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

Thank you for the sucker and the sticker book. I liked seeing you today. You are really nice. I am proud in my heart. I am almost 4 years old. I would like to have a new video game and another numchuck for the Wii. I have been a good boy this year...sometimes. Thank you for visiting my house.

Sincerely,
Oliver Alban


Dear Santa,

You were a bit scary the other day and I needed a nap. Sorry I cried so much. You weren't so bad today. I like suckers and books.

Sincerely,
Finley Alban

The Amazing Oliver

Yesterday morning, Oliver picked his own clothes out to wear and came running to me proud of his accomplishment. I keep his pants separated from his shirts, so it might not always be the best combination that would be chosen by an almost 4 year old. However, Oliver chose his Batman longsleeve shirt and a pair of greyish kahki pants that matched the shirt perfectly! I don't even think I would have come up with that combination! "Mommy, look!", he said excitedly. I said, "Oliver, that is great! You did such a good job! Do you think you can turn your shirt around so that Batman is facing the front?"

During Finley's nap, Oliver decided to build a train track out of his Geotrax. Normally he plays the wii and I sew in the room next to him. Well, I was surprised when I heard the clacks of the plastic track being handled instead of the dramatic score of Lego Batman on the wii. "Oliver! Are you playing with your train track?", I asked. He replied, "I'm making a track for Finley when he wakes up." What a sweet big bub bub!
