We decided to let Myles decorate the tree this year. It was so cute watching him put everything on the tree so carefully. Yes, Myles was careful and meticulous! If you know him, you know that is VERY uncharacteristic of him. He likes to throw things. He put all of the ornaments in one place at the bottom of the tree. We dressed the kids up in their red jammies and had a fun evening of decorating and watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Myles' new favorite movie, go figure. He likes when the Grinch steals the presents.)
I am enjoying watching Myles' excitement over Christmas. He loves looking at the lights and decorations, and can't wait for "Santa Closet" to come and bring him presents. We are learning about the real reason for Christmas, but at two years old "presents" is what sticks out. It's a good way to make him behave though!
We went to visit Santa at our mall the week before last. It was actually a very pleasant experience. No line, and he called Myles by name just from hearing me say it once. He asked Myles what he wanted for Christmas and he actually understood when he asked for a "Lightning McQueen shirt". Haha! I thought it was pretty funny that he asked for a shirt.
Well I'd better go, going to make sugar cookies with Myles. I have a bazillion things to do and my house is a mess, but making cookies with my boy is much more fun!
