Let's Talk Christmas

All it took was one visit to Santa last month and Felix really latched on to the whole Christmas idea. Some of the things he says lately are pretty cute. He’s even woken in his sleep to shout things about reindeer and Santa.

Here are some of his favorite phrases. He is getting better at the S sound, but there’s still some T in it. He’s also saying Rs and Ls clearly in some words.

Reh-meh – Christmas

Waindeer tsad – Rudolph is sad

My tree light on – I’ll plug in the Christmas tree lights

Tsanta waindeer fwy moon – Santa and the reindeer fly by the moon

Tsanta my pire truck – Santa is bringing me a fire truck

Reh-meh tree light on too – That object has Christmas lights on it, too

No man – Snow man

Hayden no, Grampa no, my no! – I went sledding with Hayden and Grandpa!

Hayden table pahty – We gave Hayden a Lego table at his birthday party

Tsanta book, weed it – Read my Santa book

People preddents – Presents for other people

Raindy – It’s windy and raining (this one's my favorite)

And he’ll string all these together like a little chatterbox on our way home from daycare every day. “My reindeer antlers. Raindy car. Santa my fire truck. My tree light on, too.” I fill in the gaps to help him tell whatever story is on his mind.
