Ah . . . the nativity. I show it to 2 1/2 year old Owen & begin to tell him a little of the Christmas story. Although we look at the baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph, he is mainly interested in the little lamb.
I tell him about the star & show him the shepherds & wise men who came to see the baby. A little later I see a plastic star has been placed by Owen atop the stable. He comes to get me as he is now providing his own visitors to the manger . . . a white rabbit with one orange ear, a puppy with sunglasses, & Kermit the frog! In addition he has added police protection as a squad car is patrolling the entire scene. So I think he gets a little of it & has put his own spin on it . . . with an unwitting humor & imagination!
