Let me introduce.....

Shooby, our Elf on the Shelf.


 
For those that don't know about the Elf on the Shelf, it's something that started a few years ago (to my knowledge). The elf is named by the child (hence Shooby's name) and watches the child throughout the day to report back to Santa every night.

 
Some elves are mischievous but we were lucky to get a well behaved one. (P doesn't need anymore ideas on how to make messes!)He leaves at night to report to Santa, which really hasn't had much effect on P's behavior as of late, and then "hides" for him to find each morning.

 
He has magical powers which supposedly dissolve if the child touches it. Not the case at our house. P plays with Shooby every day and has yet to wear the magic off him. Maybe next year he'll be more magical after hibernating for 12 months.

 Either way, we've had a lot of fun looking for Shooby first thing each morning. I'm sure P will be sad to see him go Christmas Eve but come Christmas morning he'll be glad that Santa got SOME good reports!
