Tonight I asked an obedient Jack to let Dinah (the dog) outside. As he watched her scamper across the yard, he noticed that the stars were out in the prematurely dark sky (don't get me started on Daylight Savings).
"Oooh, a star! The only star in the sky!" he crooned.
"Make a wish!" I urged.
What followed can only be described as the most precious and simultaneously weird Christmas sentiment ever.
"Star, star, I wish on you ("woo")," he sang. "Please give a Merry Christmas to me and my sister."
At this point my eyes were tearing up...mostly because of his innocent sweetness and partly because I was holding a hulking 20-lb. baby over my shoulder.
"...andalsopleaseasnowshovel." He added under his breath.
I guess my Christmas wish should be for some snow for this child. PLEASE LET IT SNOW.
