I am happy to report that we spent a day doing a colossal amount of nothing. I wrapped one gift but otherwise accomplished nothing, have unpacked nothing, and have baked nothing. I did read an entire book, take a two hour nap, and watch a couple of Christmas movies with Dennis. So it was a great day, much needed after the long drive home from Texas. Dennis cried when David left for work at noon--he said "I didn't want my daddy to leave!". He has really missed having Daddy near!
Dennis opened a bunch of gifts from his cousins last night--the Christmas with Daddy's family happened while we were away, and Daddy brought all his gifts home. He loved EVERYTHING. He and his Daddy stayed up late playing with the Hot Wheels stunt track, and this morning he woke us with a request to open his new Lego sets. And he kicked his soccer balls around the house a good bit. He wore his brand new fireman raincoat all day long, only taking it off so he could put it on again all by himself (he likes to do the fastenings). He also toted around his new Buzz Lightyear umbrella every time he left the room (with it open) just in case he came across a freak rainstorm in the hallway, and I had to suit up in my own raincoat and carry my own umbrella while we played "rainstorm". It's so fun to shop for Dennis. He loves everything he gets, opens it with delight and exclamations of "WOW COOL!" and ""it's just what I always wanted!". He did NOT get this trait from his dad.
Have you passed a display of those Baby Alive dolls this season? They begin speaking and jumping up and down when you walk by, an endcap of mayhem and irritation. We stopped by walmart last night for eggs and Coke Zero (my morning caffeine of choice) and passed a display of those dolls just before we got to the register. Dennis said to the cashier "those dolls are really freaking me out!". We all had a good giggle, and we all agreed with him!
