18th
Jack
Nana is visiting. Every morning before school, Lex sits on her bed and “helps” with her knitting or they draw together.
Lex is really into drawing. He is bossy about it. “Draw Nana! Draw Momma! Draw! Draw! Draw!” He shoves markers towards us, flaps open his notebook. Draw!
This morning Nana gave him an early Christmas present, a doll baby that drinks a bottle, burps, sleeps, laughs. We named it “Jack” because it snores like a lumberjack.
Lex loves feeding the baby and pushing it around in a little stroller. He is very nurturing.
At school today his report card said that he was a big boy and comforted a new classmate by giving her a hug when she cried. He also helped clean up the classroom for circle time.
When he got home he wanted us to help the baby doll draw. Draw! Draw! Draw! The baby obliged, with some assistance, and Lex was happy. After dinner, more stroller time. After bath, Lex snuggled the baby in bed, holding it the same way I hold him. It was very sweet. They fell asleep together.
Thank you for the doll baby Nana!
