in anticipation of christmas, we've begun reading some holiday themed books to jack. one favorite is christmas in the manger, which jack received from his grandpa and grandma last year.
the illustrations go through all the characters of the nativity -- from the donkey who carries mary through to the baby jesus.
as we were reading through the book the other night, jack paid very close attention to the babe in the manger ... petting his face, offering milk from his cup, saying "night-night" and giving him kisses. it was very sweet. mommy implored, "can you say jesus?" to which jack responded, "jesooo!" and then, "mooore!"
so we read it again. and when we saw the 3 wisemen jack said, "hohhhh!" but the best was when we got to the picture of joseph -- jack pointed at the balding, berobed cartoonish figure and said, "daddyyy!!"
um...not quite.
in that scenario that would make mommy mary and jack jesus.
yyyeah. like we said ... not hardly.
