This year was amazing
my son LOVES christmas. it is also my favorite holiday. He was adorable this year, totally into all the packages.
Surprisingly polite for a 2 yr old. He would take the package from under the tree and say, "Mommy is this for me?" If I said no, it's for gammy, he would simply put it back and say, " oh, ok, is there a present for me?" This was just the sweetest most heart melting thing. I mean, come on, at 2? I was ripping through anything in my path, I am sure. I worry about him sometimes, that he will be such a sweet person and get hurt. But, I dont give it to much time, since I think being a nice person always has its rewards in the end.
As for his christmas, we got almost all of his toys at the resale or mom to mom sales in our area. We spent less than 100 dollars for it all and he was so thrilled with everything. Even the stuff that were missing pieces. I want to savor these times to remember, for when he is 13 and is pissed the day after christmas because he only got last years version of the latest ipod or whatever the "thing to have" is at the moment. I want to be able to think back to the christmases when he only cared about having some simple little anything, it was truly the thought that counted. As for his darling sweet heart, he has been doing some really precious things. Like, the other day, my wife said, " i love my family" I said , I do too, i love our little family. Then he talks over his fake chicken nugget with a mouth ful of food and says, " I love you da-dee too, I love you mommy, too" We both welled up and began to sniffle. What a darling child. Also he LOVES christmas cookies, the baking the mixing and of course the eating but especially the decorating. he loves Pwasting and prinkos. The other day he said, mommy i love prinkos, have more. so I poured like three sprinkles into his hand and one of them was the shape of a heart. he eats the others, looks at the heart in his hand and says, mommy I love you, look there is a heart in my hand, i love you too. I smiled and said, I love you too baby. I love you too. Can life get any sweeter?

What has been happening
Well there has been a lot happening these days.
December has been very busy with life. There are times that I wish I could just stop the clock, sleep for a week and then start it back up and begin again. We had some major milestones with our son. 1. he has 2 cavities! now we have to figure out what to do about them. We don't want him to have to get his teeth drilled, but we really have no choice. So we are searching for a pediatric dentist to do the work. UGH! 2. he spent a nihgt at my in-laws. He went on Saturday night Dec 6th and came home on Dec 7th. WOW, we had the evening to do whatever we wanted. it was really weird. First I was very worried about him, his sleeping, his crying, whether or not he wouldbe scared, how they would handle it and about a million other little things, but I let it all go. I just said to myself, they will call if he needs us and left it at that. We got to see the movie MILK which we will buy as soon as it is avaialable so that our son can see it and realize what an amazing person Harvey Milk was. If you don't know who Harvey Milk was, SEE THE MOVIE, and if you do know how Harvey Milk was, SEE THE MOVIE! It was FANTASTIC! When we went to sleep that night I was thinking it would be great! no baby, but I woke up at 4:30am and stayed awake for an hour, just thinking about him and being grateful for him and what he has brought to our lives. I was able to fall back asleep and when I woke up I was so happy to have been able to sleep in, just a bit. My wife made me frendh toast, we read the paper, we talked, had coffee, did house projects and had a very nice day,but we were both already missing him like crazy by the middle of the day. It was nice to be able to just to hang curtains without having to say, thats not for the mouth, no no baby, mommy is the only one who can use the drill, etc.
We picked him up and we felt whole again.
3. He has moved into statements even more, for example:
Me do it
How open it?
you bring me toy?
i hongry now
no go nigh nigh, play cars
sing rudof da re nos yandier ( sing rudolf the red nose reindeer)
sing rock a baby (rock a bye baby)
i love you mommy
