Reason for the Season

We have a few nativity scenes around our home this time of year. Angie and David have been reading the Christmas story from his little toddler Bible he received at his baby dedication. We want David to hear about our Savior's birth and eventually realize that it was a night of miracles.

Aunt Christie also has a few nativity scenes in her home. She also has a little boy. She has learned from experience that when you tell the story of Jesus' birth little boys want to touch baby Jesus. In fact, at their house this past week baby Jesus went missing. He turned up after a few days in a monster truck. With all of this knowledge Aunt Christie thought ahead and in September bought David his own Little People Nativity.

When David first began to play with the Little People he always went for the Angel. Lately however, he has grabbed the animals. It may be because we have also been making animal sounds when we tell the story.

David decided to drop the pacifier because...

sometimes it is fun to eat animals - two at a time of course.

  1. I'm glad he likes the toy. That's great you are starting so early reading the Bible. We also had a few hot wheels cars show up in our manger scene. Luke assures me that he knows there weren't really cars there. He is just using his imagination.

  2. I adore David's laugh while checking out the Nativity scene. I must say the characters do look a little tasty. He is such a happy baby.
    Love, Gram
