Today was day 2 of the Christmas Book Advent.
Landry woke up and remembered the elf from last night! He also remembered his
bucket of books and wanted to open one.
Today's book...
During his nap I
decorated the house and set-up the Christmas tree. When he woke up I told him I
had a surprise for him in the living room. He ran out and said, "Whoa...is a
Chismas tee, Mommy!" Since the story of the day was about a Christmas
tree...what better way to connect the story than to decorate the tree?!?
Here's my eager
helper!
I showed him how to
hold the hook and hang it on a branch...he caught on quickly and couldn't get
enough ornaments!
The type A, OCD me
really wanted to tell him where to put his ornaments...but fortunately the mommy
in me kicked in, sat back, and watched him put all of his ornaments wherever he
wanted! He has his own method...the method of "how many ornaments can I get on
one branch?" :)
He even hung
ornaments on ornaments!
When we were all
done he wanted to read the book again!
He turned each page
telling us what was happening...
and pointing out
his favorite parts. :)
When he was
drinking his milk and getting ready for bed he told me, "Mommy, dat Chismas tee
is pitty. We get more nornaments tomorrow. We has to go to Tarbucks and get
more." When I asked him why we needed to get more ornaments his answer was,
"Because I yike dem...cause we need more!" Boy oh boy...you are a child after my
own heart! :)
