Christmas 2014

This was the first year Kamran could communicate his understanding of Christmas with actual words. Leading up to Christmas, little dude wanted zero to do with the Santa man. We waited for a while before we decided to go for a visit to see him. When we did visit Santa, it was a family photo. Honestly, I’m glad he won’t just go sit on any lap…even if he gives away toys and dresses up like a character.
We have one standing holiday tradition on my side of the family. That is Christmas Eve with my dad’s side of the family. They are all local to one another (a small hike for us) and that makes it super convenient to see everyone for a nice meal and exchange gifts. Kamran’s favorite gift that night was from my Aunt. The boy was captivated with a Thomas book that has teeny trains and a play mat at the back. He didn’t move and had no interest in the gifts everyone had for him. There are 2 other littles his age right now as well which makes it all super fun.
Kamran is very interested in helping me take photos. It was interesting to learn that the folks who hide from me will smile nicely when Kam is “helping.” Noted. (The snowman he took approximately 20 photos of all by himself.)
Christmas Day, I cooked breakfast/brunch and family came to visit us. Let’s just say that little man is the only grandchild on both sides for now. Someone received lots of big gifts. He is LOVING all of them. Most importantly, he received several learning toys which are great so that I can work with him now that we are home together. My brother wins a big gold star. He drove an hour to be here at 6am and watch Kamran wake up to see that Santa had come to visit.
All in all we had an amazing few days with family. Who cares about the gifts, having everyone visit our home was the very best part.
Juice: Toddler Contraband
December 27, 2013 at 9:29 AM | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a commentChristmas updates will come soon but first I had to share our laughter this morning.
One of my best buds has recently started juicing. Think juice machine, fresh fruits and veggies, and amazing for you. Not store bought concentrate. I’ve been juice curious myself and went for a visit yesterday with my refrigerator full of veggies in tow. Two jars of juice came home with me. So. Delicious. Seriously. I’m finishing off a beet and carrot juice as I write.
The very beet and carrot juice I had to run and hide to drink because my awesome food-loving toddler kept stealing it from me. You see, he only drinks water or milk and has only ever had apple juice twice in his life. He didn’t really like it much either. Beet juice is a totally different ball game. I went to a restaurant with him that served juice recently and he drank more of my juice than he did the “special treat” chocolate milk he and his friend were splitting. I had forgotten all about that until this morning. Out comes *my* beet juice and over runs my toddler, literally wagging his tongue to try it. He chugged and chugged and chugged the juice then smiled that cute bright fuchsia smile of his and asked for more. I shared but eventually had to run and hide since this is my breakfast today.
I’m so proud of this little dude’s food choices. Don’t get me wrong. Like any toddler, he asks for cookies if he sees them but apples are more frequently requested.
Check out these juice boy photos and giggle with us.
