I made gingerbread men grilled cheese sandwiches with a grilled cheese Christmas Tree for them to decorate.
Declan ate their heads, hands, feet and then bodies. Good times.
Later in the day he tried his first playing one parent off the other.
He asked Daddy if he could colour in his Santa colouring book. Since it was nearly bath time and Declan already had toys he needed to put away he told him not right now.
Declan immediately turned to me and asked if he could colour in his Santa colouring book.
While I quite enjoyed the attempt I had to say no.
The little man and I watched Christmas cartoons all day, we did colour together earlier in the day and in the evening we laid under the Christmas tree together.
Dec 24th
Today was Christmas Eve. Declan opened the last of his advent calendar Lego, finally getting C3PO Santa.
The evening was all about prepping for Santa. First of all - Declan had been very good all day. Then we got some milk and cookies ready for Santa. We read The Night Before Christmas at bedtime and after explaining that Santa only comes if you're asleep (and Declan singing a little of Santa Claus is Coming to Town) he was out like a light. No chatter, no rustling, just right to sleep.
He's really trying.
