Having Barrington in our house this past month has been an absolute blast! The other day we were discussing how each felt he made the trip to the North Pole nightly for his "check ins" with Santa. Him flying was a thought, taking an air plane was a suggestion, using his magic was another thought....I suggested a train. This ramped up the conversation to another level. Asking both children if they heard a train outside the house. If they heard it's whistle etc (just like on the movie ....The Polar Express).....
Today they mentioned Barrington and his night travels and Ella asked if the music in her room could be turned down so she could listen for train whistles tonight. She also plans to listen for reindeer feet on the roof on Christmas Eve!
I love their imaginations and imaginations get squelched at such young ages these days. This elf enhances their imagination and while the Elf is a new imaginary being, it just like Santa keeps their imaginations growing and their beliefs believing and their minds working overtime on how splendid, marvelous and magical this guy truly is! Just like Jesus...splendid, marvelous and magical!!!!

Why must I add additional items to my already long list, why?
All for a keepsake to our children from our Elf. One day they will look back at this and realize what an awesome tradition we set.
Of course our Elf will need to this every year now but next year out won't be an almost after thought.

Cooper has had a hard morning resulting in him and I staying home from Sunday School. I was having a hard time figuring out what to do with a 3 year old since we aren't going to play, watch tv, play games, color or do any FUN activity since the reason we are home is because he chose to yell and scream over talking through the issue and move on.
Decided he can help me do my WORK. Laundry and cleaning the hard wood floors.... he's loading the washing machine as I write this.
