Oscar’s Musings

Hello!

Oh my goodness, I can hardly contain myself.  Christmas is coming and I am excited!  Christmas trees!  Lights!  Advent calendars!  Presents!  Before I get to that though I should tell you about a few of my adventures and events.

In November we had a special night time pajama class at school so daddy could come with me to play.  We had so much fun!  We played with toys, sang songs, and even played with the parachute.  I was pretty pooped by the time we got home, but night time school was great.

We also celebrated Thanksgiving at our house again this year which is always fun.  I love cheesy corn souffle!  Then on Friday I went shopping with mommy and grandma Deane and met daddy and uncle Ryan downtown for dinner and light-looking.  How exciting!  We saw the carousel and the Christmas tree and the train set in the window!  I loved it.  I also forced mommy and grandma to hunt all over the city for a "gate".  I have developed an obsession for gates like the ones in parking garages or train crossings… so we searched for a parking garage with a gate we could see from the street.  Mommy spotted one finally and all was well

Grandpa Bob’s 60th birthday was the next week so I helped daddy make a special beer for the occasion.  We got to see lots of cousins, play with ice in the fountain (go crunch!), chase the cat, play with the pet door… and eat cake!  YUM.  I like cheesecake.

Last weekend we really got into the Christmas spirit and got to go on a train ride to see Santa with grandma Deane, Uncle Ryan and Auntie Emily.  It was fantastic!  At first I was not at all pleased with the train whistle when we first saw the train approach, but our seats were far from the engine so it wasn’t a problem at all.  Did I mention I love gates?  I watched out the window the whole ride in hopes on seeing the gates go down at a train crossing.  Then when we arrived at our destination, Santa Central, I got to sit on his lap.  He asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I finally spilled the beans…. lollipops.  I told him I wanted lollipops and I would eat them in this way: "suck it like a susu (pacifier)".  I had one at Halloween and have been thinking about it ever since.

Then later that night we walked to a nearby neighborhood called Candy Cane Lane to see the beautiful Christmas lights!  What fun!  Some people really go all out on the lights.

So those are my adventures. 

And these are my interests:

• Playing car wash (see photos from kelp forest at Children’s Museum)
• Gates.  Did I mention gates?  Anything with diagonal stripes can be a gate.  A sawhorse.  A baricade. A bumper on a semi truck.  I heart gates.
• The dry cleaner.  I love to see the sweaters go round and round.
• Chocolate from my advent calendar.
• Singing songs (Jingle Bells is my current fav)

That’s about it for now.  I keep asking to "go Christmas", but mommy keeps saying we have to wait for Christmas to come to us.  I don’t quite get it, but I’m really excited!
