We hope you all had a lovely Christmas! We did! It's so cool how Christmas is all exciting again when you have a baby to enjoy it with! Our little boy got SO spoilt! Here he is in his clam shell paddling pool/sandpits that he got from Granma and Granpa surrounded by lots of his presents (later on I realised there were some more still in the car). Christmas lasted two days for us which is lucky since we got home on Christmas night after spending the day with first the Sagers and then Smith side of the family (which includes Josh's very special friend and cousin Samuel Lee who despite feeling a bit crook with a cold coming on was being very patient with Josh who was trying to steal all his chocolate money!) and because he was so tired he didn't even get to open his presents from his mummy and daddy before it was time for bed! On Boxing day we got up and did it all over again with the Pointon side of the family. So it was two BIG days for our little boy. We think Josh takes after Julia (who has a great love of presents - although she probably likes giving them more but Josh definitely was loving receiving!) because he knew EXACTLY what to do with them. He was right into it! Ripping the presents open and stuffing the paper in his mouth with a little gleam in his eye! In the end we resorted to giving him his dummy for most of the present opening because he was getting so good at ripping tiny little bits of paper off to chomp on! Ha ha!
It's pretty hard to be sure but we reckon his favourite present would have to be the one his daddy picked for him which is a Leapfrog spinning thing that he can sit up and spin himself and when it lands on a
n animal or a letter the music stops and it says the letter or the animal or makes the animal sound depending which setting it is on, but he got so many awesome presents that he immediately loved when he played with them, like his material books his Nan made for him with the bright pictures and crinkly bits sewn into the pages (and Nan also made two more little orange "Friends" for him which he thought were pretty cool as soon as he saw them - so now Friend is a triplet which is very handy for mummy and daddy who have seen first hand Keelia Grace Hill's attachment to a certain yellow friend called Mr Sleepy who has been lost PLENTY of times resulting in much angst on Keelia's part and agony of the part of whichever adult is in charge at the time!), and his Gloworm that he's been giving cuddles and kisses to ever since. All in all even without all the presents, Christmas this year was one of the best ever in my memory banks. God bless you all at this special time of year!
