Over Already?
Well, Christmas morning was a success! Sure, there was a bit of indifference from Splig (the leftover fries from yesterday’s lunch were more of a hit,) but even he became interested in some of his presents once we showed him how to rip. Later in the day and into the evening Splig got the hang of playing with toys.
The Cat was in full-swing for the opening and consuming of presents. This was the first year that he opened all his presents at once instead of losing interest mid-way. Thankfully, Santa brought the proper “big bridge,” along with other toys that met his approval.
The afternoon and Christmas Dinner were also exciting and wild times. From cardboard block forts, to glowy ducks, to trains and books, the evening was lots of fun. Spliggle decided to become a gymnast, spending a great chunk of time readying his body for a somersault. My dad helped him over most times, but he went on tippy-toe and pushed himself over a few times on his own.
Tomorrow will be a one-foot-in-the-water day: I know I have some things to do for clients, but I want to relax a bit as well. We’ll see how it goes. I may work hard during Splig’s nap and after-hours in favor of savoring the Christmas vacation a little bit longer while the kids are awake. I think the laundry absolutely needs to be folded, though!
I hope everyone had a happy and healthy holiday.
