This morning, I dropped Lucy off at our daycare mom's to attend Lincoln's preschool class Christmas Tea. He was playing so nice, following direction, making me proud.... until he saw me. He came running, waving his hands, saying, "Mama, mama, mama...." and it was so sweet.... but then it's like he reverts into this little pot of wet noodles, can't stand, doesn't want to wash hands for snack, doesn't want snack, pushes away any offers of help, dumped his chocolate milk in his lap.... oiy. Why is it the 'best behavior' goes out the window when mom shows up?
It was still really sweet though, his classmates had wrapped gifts for each other, they made us a gingerbread man that had a pile of post-its right in the middle of their tummy... cute stuff. We decorated some cookies, played with play dough, they sang some songs with jingle bells.... and then before we knew it, it was time to go.
This morning, we decided to see if Lucy's curls were long enough to go into a pony... and they were....
Lily is so excited for Christmas to get here.... yesterday, I wrapped all the gifts, realized I've hidden a few too well... have to find those.... and left out two items that were supposed to be stocking stuffers... she came running upstairs, "MOM! There is a chocolate Santa and some skittles downstairs, who's are those?!?!?!?" Um, so we had some of the Santa for after dinner desert. Ooops. :)
I hope to get into town tonight to FINISH my Christmas shopping. I have to make a list of the things I need, otherwise, I'm wandering aimlessly in the store, wondering what I should get and who still needs to be bought for. I'm on a mission to complete this tonight... it will solely depend on if Brandon is able to get home from work on time, so that I can get to the stores before they close. Fingers crossed.
Lily's first grade Christmas Tea is on Thursday, Daddy will be able to come along for that one... we're so excited! Hope to post some pics of that!
I think this might be my first year in Minnesota with no snow for Christmas!!
