As we walked down the stairs she peeked around over the banister exclaiming "ooooh". I put her down & let her walk over to the presents. She walked by them, inspecting them one by one squealing with excitement. While our coffee was brewing and she sipped on almond milk from her reindeer sippy cup she explored the packages. She's a smart girl…she was immediately drawn to the larger ones.
There were a few presents open from the night before & she plopped herself on the living room carpet in front of them. One by one she very slowly opened: clothes, PJ's, DVD's, blocks, books, puzzles, faux groceries, kid WOD toys (kettlebell, barbell, box & medicine ball), plastic pots & pans, faux fruit, a shopping cart, a cozy coupe car, baby alive baby doll & umbrella stroller.
She tore the paper off strip by strip, stacking it on top of each other. She'd instantly forget about the toys she'd previously opened & become focused on the toy in hand. Philip couldn't open/assemble fast enough. She kept walking over to the cozy coupe box & say "see, see". No sooner did Philip take it out the box she was sitting in it say "vroom vroom" & buzzing her lips together making car sounds. She kissed the baby and said "aw" then tossed her to the ground, lol. She LOVES her little stroller from Pottery Barn; I am pretty sure every accessible item got a ride, Elmo, Philip's cell phone, etc.
It was a super relaxed day. Mum & Dad came over at lunch time & we exchanged gifts. We ate & laughed, played games & watched movies…my kind of day.
It was a very very memorable Christmas.
