Meet "Bo."

Honestly, I didn't know what to expect when we introduced the elf to Ross.  I figured this would be our trial-run year.  In fact, I didn't even expect her to name him . . . as the book suggests.  However, much to my surprise, Ross immediately blurted out the name "Bo."  I have no idea where it came from or even what could have possibly bring about such a word, but an easy name like that has worked out well for all of us.  :)

Every morning we search for him . . . calling him along the way . . . 

"Bo . . . ? Bo . . . ?"

And every morning he brings a giant smile.
