Meet Ce-Cee

December first Jackson opened his first Christmas book, The Elf on the Shelf. The Elf had appeared the night before and Jackson had spotted him, pointing at him with curiosity having observed he was not there yesterday. 

Within those first few days of December Jackson wanted to be read and reread the book. He would find the Elf on the pages and listen intently to its story. The more we read the book Jackson started pointing to the Elf and saying "ce-cee". 

The name stuck. As the Elf moved each day Jackson continued to a watch for it in the mornings, proudly declaring "Ce-cee" when spotted. 

After finding his new location, Jackson would look to where he was the day before, confused. He would say something as to its previous spot and run back to Ce-cee. On various occasions Jackson had a hard time finding Ce-cee, it was adorable to watch his concerned expression spin around and duck his head in search. Each time Jackson spotted him (multiple times a day even) Jackson was pure in excitement and fantasy. 

We were not sure if Jackson was too young to be watched by the Elf on the Shelf, but it couldn't have been a more enjoyable experience. Jackson will wave his good-bye like usual to him before bed on Christmas Eve for the last time of the season. Ce-cee will return his magic next year. I wonder if Jackson will recall the same name.
