We went to a live nativity on Friday, December 17, 2010 at Jefferson Avenue Church of God. They had two goats and a donkey (along with all the dressed up characters). I guess Kirk forgot about the goats he loved at the pumpkin patch, because he wasn't too fond of these goats. Maybe it's because he didn't get to feed them? He giggled a little when they munched on their hay. He did like "Bee-Bee Cheesus" (which was a doll) and kept pointing to the people in the manger. We stayed for a bit and listened to the music. It was very nice and really put us all in the Christmas spirit!
Kirk and Jeremy visited the donkey. He was a cute little guy!
Kirk's relationship with Marco is a work in progress. We went to a basketball game today and Marco had a Santa suit on! Kirk watched from a distance while his friend J.D. got his picture taken with him. I guess the peer pressure wasn't speaking to him, because he would only permit about a two feet barrier. He apparently made a little peace with him, though, because he got a little closer later in the game.....
So there was also a "Santa" at the game, and Kirk let him touch his arm! I was proud! He didn't cry, but he did kind of give him the look of death. That's okay, we're making progress!
Jeremy and I braced for disaster as Santa Marco walked up the steps in our section.....
Okay, so he clung to Jeremy and didn't exactly make eye contact...but he didn't cry! Marco waved at him a few times and Kirk happily told him "bye bye" when he walked away!
We are really going to have to work on our opinion of costumed characters if we plan to visit Disney World! He can't be afraid of Mickey and Minnie...it will break my heart! Jeremy and I have faith that by the end of basketball season that Kirk and Marco will be best friends and you will see a picture of them smiling together posted here! Wishful thinking, huh??
