I did not mention in the previous holiday wrap-up anything about a "Handy-Dandy Notebook", but how could I have failed to leave it out. Santa delivered a real Blues Clues Handy-Dandy Notebook to Cooper for Christmas. The notebook and crayon did not leave his hands for any amount of minutes for several days....until he chewed the corner off and was distraught because his sacred notebook was broken. We tried to fix it and performed some clever little surgeries, but it was not up to par for Cooper. He would have nothing to do with it and came home every day saying My Handy Dandy Notebook is broken can you fix it for me, and when we would say look! it's fixed, his reply was always a quick "No, not yet". So we had to call in back-up. At one point Cooper tried getting Dragon (you know, from Shrek) to fly by the house and pick it up to take it to Santa to fix it- he walked out the front door and whistled and said "come here Dragon"- it was fascinating to see that little imagination at work. After Santa could not make the repairs perfect enough, a brand new notebook unexpectedly arrived. Cooper could not be happier, he again has his special un-chewed "Handy-Dandy Notebook" in tow and can spot clues all over the place.A fun little tale, from a very fun little boy, about a little notebook Santa never even knew he would pay attention too.

Oh! How precious!!! I love that little guy!!!
So sweet!
what a great story for all time Steph...thank you so much for sharing that one. I smiled the whole time I read it and definitely could hear him saying those sweet little comments & looking up with those beautiful blue eyes. So glad to hear Santa sent a new "Handy-Dandy Notebook" to Coopie!
Love, Gammy
The best part is him looking up in the sky and telling Santa thank-you and adding Simon the Elf too as an afterthought...and then.....smiling and saying I'm a good boy.
He is such a "great" boy. So, So dear.
