Baby Jeez

Each night before bed we read The Very Hungry Caterpillar, Mickey Mouse and Stop, Train, Stop (Thomas the Train). Sometimes we get wild and crazy and pick new books. For Christmas, we’ve added What is Christmas? Lucas loves to pick the order we read the books and we always end with What is Christmas?

The first page (from a child’s perspective) asks what is Christmas and why is December 25th a special date. When those questions are asked out loud, Lucas responds “Baby Jeez.” I’ll repeat with a questioning tone, “Baby Jesus?” and he’ll say, “Uh-huh.”

After a multitude of questions asking if Christmas is about twinkling lights, candy canes, cookies and so on, we get to the important part. Lucas is quick to point and announce Baby Jeez, his mom and dad and all of Baby Jeez’s animals.

So don't forget about Baby Jeez. Merry Christmas!
