Christmas recap

This is the little table that we got Will for Christmas this year. He loves it and held court there for most of Christmas morning. Unfortunately, however, it took him very little time to discover that it is easier for him to climb up on the table than onto the bench, so we now spend a lot of time telling him to get off the table. I'm just afraid that he's going to fall off and get hurt. It also turns out that maybe he is still a little young for crayons. He loves playing with them, but prefers to dump them out of the box onto the table, throw them onto the floor, pick them back up, sort of put them back in the box, stick some in his mouth, and start over again. Other than that, though, Christmas was a great success. Will received probably a world record in penguin-related toys and clothing, which made him very happy. We visited Matt's family in PA and my family in NY, which involved a lot of driving, but it was a good time. I don't think Will cried the entire time we were visiting people because he was having so much fun. Well, there was that time that he woke up hysterical in the middle of the night and woke up my entire family, but that doesn't count.

Will also had his first real adventure with snow. He liked it OK for a while, but then I accidently threw a snowball in his face and his love of the snow soured. But then Matt and my sister Emily took him sledding down a hill in my parents' backyard, which he liked.





Happy New Year!
