"Mom, Can I Hold Baby Jesus?"

Lauren has become quite "attached" to the baby Jesus and manger that we have on our TV armoire. When she first asked to hold him (AKA carry him around, put him down for naps in her bed, wrap him up, etc...) I was hesitant because that particular figurine can not be replaced unless I trek to Jerusalem to buy it, which will probably never happen again. But, at the same time, it's sort of cute, and she is sort of careful with him. Sometimes she wants the manger, sometimes she doesn't. This morning she was carrying him around, and then I noticed that she had put him in her backpack and she was carrying him that way...funny little girl.
