Well I think we officially have "glory in excesses" this Christmas. The tree is up, and you can barely see it anymore after Jonathan and I wrapped all the presents last night. This may, in part, be because we have 19 people we're buying presents for this Christmas. But mostly it's because we brought back an extra suitcase or two with us from Florida. (and left the kids pillows in the hotel room, to make more space)
The kids don't care, really. At the moment they're pushing each other around the house in the car seat, after whacking each other over the head repeatedly with cardboard wrapping tubes I decorated. Ben had an aha moment when we were experimenting with the different sounds the tubes make when you hit different things with them.
Ben - "Mommy your head sounds lower than mine"
Me - "you're right!"
Ben - "Why does it sound lower?"
Me - "Maybe because my head is bigger"
We hit a few different things around the house, and he was able to tell me which sounds were lower, which were higher, and what the difference was. I'm so proud. I may just have the beginnings of the new member for Blue Man Group !!!
