READ THE MANUAL

And so it begins for your dad...bigger toys and so many pieces that the instruction manual now has to be read.   All part of being a dad.

LIGHT BULB

Light bulb moment for you, you  finally figured out what presents are all about this year.  Although we're still working on the fact that every present isn't yours to open.   

ALMOST

So much for Grandma Kathy getting a picture of all her grandkids looking at the camera...

SKI BUNNY

 Time to get in training for your future full-ride college athletic scholarship in skiing...

Something tells me your dad may have his work cut out for him.

CHOIR

While we were shopping, there was a children's choir performance.  You were enthralled by the sight of so many kids singing and danced in delight as they went through a list of Christmas carols.  In between songs there were painfully long breaks and everyone stood there silently waiting for the next one. That is everyone but you.  In the long silence, you broke out in your loud version of the ABC's.  Toddler entertainment at its best.

HIM AGAIN

It's him again. And you're still scared of him. Yes, once again you were "that kid" that patiently waited to see Santa and then came down with a case of stage fright once it was finally your turn. Any year now, you're going to realize this guy isn't so bad.

ACCORDING TO AJ

Potty training isn't quite going according to plan these days.  You've now decided that every article of clothing must be off when using the toilet.  Not even your socks can be on.  And also not according to plan, you now make me track my potty use with stickers as well.  Instead of posting my stickers on your calendar, you  put them on the dog food container.  I wonder if that's what all those charities had in mind when they sent me all those unwanted free address labels.
