Geoffrey has really enjoyed Christmas this year! He has been watching his Christmas shows and really loves "Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas." He does not like "Twice Upon a Christmas" because in the third sketch, Pluto gets lost. This seems to really bother him. He also didn't like Home Alone because Kevin gets left alone, too. It is so funny to hear him reciting lines from his favorite shows though - including imitating the inflections... "It's here... CHRISTmas time!"

He is learning some Christmas songs - favorites being "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and "Deck the Halls with Bells of Folly," in which he sticks out his tongue and moves it side to side while singing "Fa la la la la la la la la..."

Gratitude was hard to come by this year, with instead an instance on more presents and more candy. WE will continue to work on this!

He is slowly starting to realize that Katie is becoming a little person and potential play mate. He will at times ask Katelyn to come play with him,  which is nice. At other times, he is very impatient with her, too.

Geoffrey has some trouble speaking up to other adults - for example, asking for things or saying thank you when someone gives him something - but I was quite proud of him for asking Santa what he wanted (a bullet passenger train that moves by itself when you press the button on top.) It took a while, but he finally did it!

This Christmas Geoffrey got a few games and he really enjoys playing them! We have been playing Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land, and Who Shook Hook? and he is doing well with taking turns and following the rules! Now we just need to work on being a gracious loser.  (o;
