Yeah, this is the “gargoyle” shot of our kids. Hannah actually looks just fine, only with eyes closed. Sim looks like…somethin’.
Simeon appreciated Christmas very much. He was much more aware of what was going on this year.
He also thought that he should get to open any and all presents and stockings. Once he got started, we had to be pretty careful, because he would probably have opened everything. In fact, he cried when we told him he couldn’t open other people’s gifts.
Not that he didn’t take time to enjoy his gifts, but he didn’t let that get in the way of some good present opening.
He doesn’t seem to have retained the concept about it being Christmas, though.
(Here he is, helping Grandma Ellie open her stocking.)
He keeps asking for the things he got “for my birthday.” For example, “I want to color with the crayons I got for my birthday.”
I don’t think it’s necessary to correct his mistake, because by next year he’ll have it all figured out. Plus, it’s pretty darn cute. Hannah and Naomi are both somewhat concerned about it, though. They first take him literally (“He didn’t get any crayons for his birthday”) and then want to explain it all to him. Poor kid. He gets corrected far more than they did when they were his age. However, he hasn’t let it affect his outlook. Those gifts are still all ones that he got for his birthday, as far as he’s concerned.
