Ok...the last picture is totally random, but I wanted to share it with you. Ari fell and busted his lip in the nursery a couple of months back and his loosened his tooth just a bit. We brought him to the dentist and were told that there was no root damage. The tooth tightened back up, but it turned gray! This lasted for a few weeks, and now his tooth is back to almost it's normal color. Can teeth bruise?
Alright, sorry...now on to my post...I absolutely LOVE this time of year! On top of the fact that we celebrate our Savior's birth, I just love the sounds, the smells, the lights...all of it! However, it is such a chaotic time, and all of the activity seems to make the holiday pass before we can even really enjoy it. I told Austin tonight that I would love to just clear our calendar for the whole month of December. Nice thought, but more than likely not ever gonna happen.
Now that Ari is old enough to really understand what Christmas is about and enjoy the traditions that we celebrate, I want to start some traditions of our own with him. This is where you come in...I need some ideas. One thing for sure I will be doing first thing in the morning is making some kind of a calendar or chain that counts down the days until Christmas day. The poor child wakes up everyday expecting to see the promised drum set sitting under the tree! He's having a hard time understanding the difference between Christmas time and Christmas day. :) Ok, so let me hear it...what are some things we can do?
