We had a fun time shopping for the family, even though it was a little late in the season. You had a great time until you got tired, then you went from disinterested to asleep.
The day before Christmas Eve, your oldest (half) brother Brandon and his wife, Maureen, came to stay with us. Brandon almost felt invisible because you kept saying “Maureen, Maureen, Maureen!”
For our Christmas Eve lunch we took Maureen and Brandon to Galactic Pizza (one of your favorite foods), where you had your first experience with 3D glasses. (We’re not really sure you got the concept)
You also showed Brandon a thing or two about using the remote and controlling the TV (a skill you learned from Daddy).
That night we called your OTHER (half) brother, your sister-in-law Ashley and your (older than you) nephew, Ben, on the Xbox.
On Christmas morning you got to open a LOT of presents. Some of your favorites include a very noisy cement mixing truck, a plushy Monster Bowling set, a Learn Piano with Elmo book, a Jake and the pirates bath toy (which you got a little early and played with every night since), a new Leap Top “computer”, and even though you haven’t played it yet, a Wii version of Wheel of Fortune.
Other excitement of the holiday included building Gingerbread men virtually and nibbling on a Starbucks Snowman cookie.
You’re other accomplishments:
- You showed me the difference in “lounging” and “relaxing” on your big chair (Laying across it vs. sitting on it).
- Conveyed your confidence over choosing the right letters on your alphabet blocks by saying “CORRECT” before we have the chance.
- You’re very vocal about when you want to sleep (“Nigh Night”) or when you’re hungry (“Eat! Eat, please!).
- The go to answer for “What do you want to eat?” is now Tofurky Pizza.
- You’ve started requesting things like, “Pee Pee Potty Time” followed immediately with “NO Pee Pee Potty Time” (toddler contrariness).
- You have had some stellar meltdowns; and yes, some that we couldn’t pinpoint the cause. We’re all working through it. 😉
It's Campbell Time!
