Gift Giving

Declan and I were finishing decorating the Christmas tree this morning. He is very impatient and doesn't listen. I tell him to hold no more than two ornaments at a time. I turn around he has four. I take two and tell him he can help and he can touch but to be careful and one for each hand at most. Then all of a sudden he drops a little blue ornament and it shatters. Declan says "oh the baby. Look Mom the baby one is broken. The baaaay-beeeeee." 

He's so dramatic.

Yes Declan. That's why you need to be careful. I told him it was ok but to be more careful as Id said before and no more than two at a time.

He got better.

I gave him a couple little hooks and he would attach them one at a time to some long twisted glittery ornaments. He'd get the hook on and then present it to me: "Mommy here's a gift for you." He was quite proud of himself.

We had fun and now our tree is done.

Another fun part of our morning was singing a duet with my little man. Usually he yells at me to stop when I sing it not today. We were watching the Muppet Movie and during a big song and dance number Declan and I sung along together. Holding long notes together, hearing him start to short of breath, I love it!!
