Merry Christmas!

These are the shots that didn't make it on the Christmas Card. These are actually kinda cute. I'll find the ones that weren't.

Merry Christmas!

Drummer Boy

Some cool things about the little drummer boy...even though I think it's the most god-awful song ever made...

• It was playing the night Nick was born (yep, Christmas songs playing while babies being born on December 24th)
• Chris thinks it's the most beautiful song ever
• Nick surprised us at his holiday concert this year - check out the drummer boy on the right hand side! He rocked it!

Happy Birthday Little Man!

Tooth!

Nick has had a loose tooth for ages now. He woke up one day to just spit it out in his hand! Lucky he didn't swallow in overnight. Mostly bc that's just gross. Now he's got a giant adult tooth growing on the bottom, with his little kid angel face. The two don't fit yet, but they look cute! $1 is the going rate for a tooth. Luckily they only have 20 teeth total.

Underwear

Guess who’s wearing underwear?! Peri is apparently the last girl in her class wearing diapers. I should note she’s also the youngest girl. She started showing a lot of interest in the potty, so we said “why not?”. Dora and Princesses were her picks for underwear. Her little butt looks so cute in her pants now that she doesn’t have that bulky diaper. I could eat it up! Most days she does pretty well. But it’s been two weeks full of us running to the bathroom, asking her every 15 minutes if she has to pee, washing a LOT of clothes when she didn’t make it in time and hoping that we didn’t rush this.

Pencils

Nick came home from school a few weeks ago talking nonstop about these cool metal pencils a friend had. Turns out there were mechanical pencils. Told him we could buy some for him if he wanted. OMG – he skipped around for days until we finally made it to Walgreen’s to buy them. We spent 10 minutes in the pen/pencil aisle while he decided on the classic metal look or the multi-colored packs. Metal won and $2.98 later we were out the door with one happy boy! The little things in life…
