Saturday morning Simon woke up and immediately asked "Where's da guitar?" Much of the weekend was spent with his guitar in hand. He even ate with it. We drew the line when he wanted to sleep with it.

That evening we had Motorolans, Realtor Rick, and friends over for a house cooling party (the opposite of a house warming party). Simon flirted with the attractive women and danced the night away. For the first time in his life, he slept from 8 pm on Saturday until 10 am on Sunday (and still managed a short nap).

After he woke up we took him to another one of our favorite Chicago hangouts, the Garfield Conservatory.

Later that afternoon Simon tried to fly on our broom for a few hours (he is obsessed with Kiki's Delivery Service). We celebrated the fourth night of Hanukkah and Simon opened a set of air ships. Simon and Matthew zoomed them through the air.

Later that evening, Simon's friend Amelie came over to play while we went to Polish town for "Polish Christmas Eve." It was terribly sad when he and Amelie hugged and Simon said "See you later" and Amelie repeated "See you later." Simon started to scream when Matthew left to help Amelie and Marcellina to their car and he didn't stop for several hours. He hasn't screamed or cried since that night but he has told us that his ear is still "wet" and that it hurts.
