We are in Dallas again this week, for another training for Matt. We'll leave from here next weekend to go to Big Spring to spend Christmas with Matt's family.
I'm finally starting to get into the Christmas spirit now. All our shopping is done (and has been for a while), and my parents' house is decorated festively as it usually is this time of year. They even have wrapped presents under the tree already! I pulled out our gifts to Patrick to show my mom, and Patrick saw them. Apparently we made some good choices. He didn't want to let us put them away until Christmas. I'm glad he's still young enough that he'll forget tomorrow that he ever saw them.
Patrick recognized the kitty and his grandparents immediately. I guess it's good that we had such a short break since we were here last time. As soon as he saw the cat, he slipped into his "kitty voice." He also gave his grandparents a huge grin when he saw them and was willing to let them hold him right away. That's a nice change from the last few visits.
It also seems that he is obsessed with the Christmas tree. He crawled straight for it when he got put on the ground. He wants to yank the ornaments off and play with them, and he's already trying to unwrap the presents, especially those shiny bows. Something tells me opening presents on Christmas morning may be a little more interesting with him this year than last. The funniest thing was when it was bedtime and we encouraged him to let go of the ornaments so he wouldn't take them to bed with him. He was quickly trying to put the ornaments back on the tree himself. He hadn't quite mastered the art of looping the ribbon around the branch, so he couldn't figure out why those didn't stay on the tree like the others. He's so funny.
