This marks P's 3rd christmas season and his enjoyment and excitement regarding it all so contagious! He has discovered Mr. Grinch and speaks to him all the time, as his imaginary playmate. Today Mom and I took P to Barnes and Noble for the first time. I had been wanting to take him because i knew they had a children's area with tons of fun things to do. I knew this may be the place he could actually get down and be free without the adult rules of other locations. I was right. He was so happy and in his element here, and it doesn't hurt that this boy LOVES books. While there, Grandma stumbled upon the one and only Grinch plush in the store! P has never been one for stuffed animals, and has rarely ever snuggled or toted one around, so today marked a special day because he took to the grinch right away. We wonder if its because he's been talking to him for weeks in his imagination, so for him to come to "life" mustve been mind-blowing for P! Grandma got us all hot chocolate like on polar express and pumpkin muffins, while we sat in the kids section playing puzzles and looking through the array of amazing christmas books and their illustrations. It was one of the best days ever! P also enjoyed the discovery of the bookstores train table, and made a fellow train loving friend. I felt like Kathleen Kelly, and we were sitting in the quant bookstore, The Shop Around the Corner in "You've Got Mail".
He sat Mr. Grinch on the bench and said,"Grinch Watch PhePhe!"
