Well, a friend and mentor suggested I start a blog. I think it’s a great idea, I just hope I can keep it updated regularly!!
On Friday, we finally got our tree up. Every year, we get the kids a new ornament that reflects their personality or their interests (a tradition my mom started). This year, Phoenix got a Transformers ornament. I have never seen him so into a toy or superhero or really anything the way he’s into Transformers. He’s constantly going, “Mom! Watch, look Mom, look”, and then he’ll very convincingly transform from kid mode to vehicle mode, sound effects and all.
We got Lark a little dog ornament. On the way home from our out of town Thanksgiving festivities, I got out an old mix CD of Christmas songs I had thrown together when Phoenix was a baby, and it had on it the dogs barking Jingle Bells song. Lark loved it, she started dancing and singing (uh, barking) along, and we had to listen to it another 14 times.
We had a lot of fun decorating the tree, and Phoenix was one tired kid. He managed to get out, “I hate hiccups,” and two seconds later he was face down in his Easy Mac.
This is a good idea – keep it up!!
