Christmas preparations seemed to take the entire month of December this year. Because of this, and Timmy's interest in everything in the house, we went a little on the sparse side for Christmas decorations. Timmy was a big helper though, especially with decorating the tree. He really enjoyed placing the (plastic) bulbs on the tree, and then rearranged them from time-to-time. Halfway through decorating, he stood still and stared at the tree before saying, "The Christmas tree is beauuuu-ti-ful!" It made me melt.
but later he said, "Uh-oh, no star up in the sky" (anything out of his reach is apparently 'in the sky') so he was very happy to help Dad put the star on top.
We did occasionally notice that Timmy had added to our ornament collection, finding various cars and balls nestled in the branches.
When he helped put the finishing touches on, the bows, he turned right to me and my camera and said, "Ta-da!"
Timmy's preschool class had a Christmas Party that the parents were invited to. The kids decorated and ate sugar cookies and then sang a little medley of songs for us. We had been getting previews of their little concert, as Timmy would break into parts of Jingle Bells and Rudolph while wandering around the house, it was great!
We got a light dusting of snow the day of his preschool party. His teachers said that he pointed out the window saying, "I go outside now?" all morning. He absolutely loves the snow, insisting he gets to walk in it and touch it every time we go outside, throwing snow balls and eating the snow off of his gloves. On one car trip I asked him to stop licking his gloves because the snow was all gone and he was just making them wet. A few moments later I heard, "Snow!" and turned around in time to see him start licking the snow... off of his shoe!!!
All of these preparations left us all needing good naps! Luckily we had a beauuu-ti-ful, warm place to take them!
