Tis the Season

Christmas?!?  My son doesn't know his own name half the time but somewhere along the way he's learned the word Christmas!  We put up our trees on Monday while he was at school and the first thing he said when he walked in the door was, "Christmas", bless his little heart.  Big change from last year... Last year was what I like to call the Great Christmas Standoff of 2010; a battle of wills between him and I regarding the Christmas tree.  I preferred the decorations ON the tree and he felt the decorations would be better off lying around the floor of his bedroom.  I'd put them up, he'd take them down. He also launched a one toddler -Free the Snowmen! revolution. Apparently I was the big oppressor of his "people" and my son felt it was his duty to reunite the snowman ornaments with their long lost relatives the snowman figurines, towels, stuffed snowmen and snowmen stockings who had been so callously scattered across the land (our house) by yours truly.
