finally, a present!


Big day today--Christmas party with Daddy's family at Grandma's and GrandBob's house. Dennis got to open presents, something he's been itching to do for weeks now. He caught me wrapping the gifts for his cousins and has been anxious to open his own. He wouldn't nap before the party since he knew we were going. He was irritable and whiny and worried everyone to pieces during the meal saying he wanted to open presents. He was delighted when the time finally arrived to open the gifts and he ran to tell his cousins. He helped me hand out gifts at first and then got too busy opening them and playing with what he got. It was difficult to get him to stop playing with his toys long enough to open the next gift! He took a rather long nap afterward, while we were still at Grandma's place, and then he rode drowsily in the shopping cart through Wal-Mart while we picked up a few things on the way home. He played tee ball in our living room for nearly an hour once we got home (Grandma got him a tee ball set!) and he's VERY good at it. He knows how to hold the bat and hit and I am certainly not the one who taught him this. He bats left-handed! I can't wait for it to be nice out so we can go outside and play ball (I imagine this will be a significant workout for me).
