Recreating the Nativity

Last night Elizabeth worked with the littles to put together a small rendition of the Nativity. Of course Lydia was Mary, that's just a given. After all, she does have the perfect dress for playing Mary and she has a Baby Alive. Problem was, Baby Alive, a.k.a. Baby Jesus, started crying during the reenactment. I intervened and said, "That's not going to work, the song says, 'no crying He makes.' " Then Lydia said, "I know, I'll just turn the baby off." Wow, I wish I had such outstanding mothering capabilities.
