Sam & Amelia

Today was a lazy day at home. Sam work up around 7:30 with wild and crazy hair!

We played, read books, and ate breakfast before Amelia work up at 8am. Then we just played some more – drawing trucks, trailers and apples on the MagnaDoodle, putting magnets on the fridge, watching Curious George, pulling baskets up and down the hall (occasionally giving Alex a ride). Sam “helped” me wrap presents while Amelia took a morning nap. And by help, I mean he dumped the contents of the trashcan out onto the floor, played with Scotch tape and jumped on the air mattress in the spare room. He helped me carry the presents upstairs and placed them under the tree. As soon as we were done with that he ran to his room (on a mission) and pointed to his basket of diapers. I handed him a diaper and he ran to his new Curious George monkey (thanks Miles!) and started to wrap it around him. Don’t know why he needed a diaper all of a sudden – he had been in our house for about 36 hours, diaperless, and all was well….

The kids stayed in their pajamas today! I briefly thought about going to storytime, but it was just too cold to get out! We spent the rest of the day playing and doing laundry. I gave Amelia more rice cereal today and she actually swallowed a few bites. She still makes faces and pushes some out with her tongue, but I think we’re making progress. Sam always wants to eat her rice cereal – that boy will eat anything!
