This was Christmas #2 as parents, but I really don't count last year as Hayden was only about 8 months old and didn't really know what was going on. Everyone told me that this year would be different and that Hayden would really enjoy it. Well they were right, it was different and he had a wonderful time, despite having a temp of 103. You would never know that the little munchkin was burning up as he just played and played. This year was all about him. He made out like a bandit, toys and clothes. He has started his Thomas the Tank Engine collection. I wasn't sure if he "got it" yet-but my boy is much smarter than I give him credit for. This is due to the fact that he is MY child, and that the wonderful woman (his Tita Marcela) who takes care of him is giving him the love and stimulation that I can't because I am at work. I thank God for sending her to us at the time we needed her most. I also thank Anna-Aileen's nanny for telling her about the job.
This Christmas was once again filed with wonderful food and wonderful memories. Hayden was not into unwrapping the gifts, but once they were open, boy did he want to play with everything. At one point he just stood there looking at all his loot wondering what to do next.
As I look back at everything that happened in 2007, I have plenty to be thankful for. It was a hard year-having lost our beloved Minute-but despite the bumps and the sadness, watching my family grow, and being able to spend time with my mom made up for it. We have a new addition to the family-Lappy, and chihuahua/terrier mix who is CRAZY!
But man do we love him. I just know that Lappy and Hayden are going to be buddies. Our resident old man Olie has perked up. He is showing his age, but still the same Olie.
I am looking forward to 2008. Even years seem to be good for me. Got married in 2004, had Hayden in 2006. I feel good things for 2008-I think it's leap year!
My son is playing with his new trains-I can hear him going "choo choo"-I think I'll join him....
