We must be on a roll. Tonight he was doing his evil Vincent Price laugh and I thought, Christmas is coming ... so while he was going "ha, ha, HA!" I said "Ho, ho, ho!" and he peered at me as if I'd lost my mind (he's not real convinced of my sanity anyway) and leaned forward and gave me this puzzled look and then he said, "ho, ho, ho?" Clearly, it was a question.

So I said it again and he cocked his head and peered at me (I could almost see him taking notes to give to the nice men with nets later) and then he said "Ho, ho, ho!" in this very deep growly voice, unlike his usual voice, which made me laugh and then he laughed and said it again!

Whoo-hoo. You see he's not only grasped the sound, but the concept of Santa, or he wouldn't have used the deep voice.

Now ... does anyone know where I can buy a tiny Santa hat for him?

And if you do, how do I convince him to WEAR it?
