Decorating the Tree
What fun! No, really it was fun. I LOVE decorating the tree, and for the first time ever I think Tyler loved it too! He was really into it. When we take out all the ornaments we talk about each one, and I tell him things about why he got that one or why I got that one and this time he seemed to actually care and asked questions and even remembered some of them. I was so happy. We had the Christmas music going and he even got happy when they played the little drummer boy. (That is one of the songs he will be performing in the Christmas program, so he knows it and sang along. His favorite part is the ba rumpa bump bum and boy does he sing that part loud!) It was just a great night. He still needs to work on the ornament placement, but he does pretty good. Mike rearranged them in some places. We finished pretty quickly, but tonight we put the candy canes on. Can't wait for that one! He was already pressuring me to start on the advent calendar - he is just going to be in hog heaven tomorrow! Na-Na bought him an advent calendar that each day you open this little drawer and there is a treat in there, so that should be good. Good ol' Na-Na forgot to put treats, so I guess that will be my duty! That's OK, I will work on that.
