Merry Christmas!

Sean had a very good Christmas. Although he still doesn't "get" it - and had more fun playing with bows and wrapping paper - he seemed to have lots of fun with his family - all of his grandparents and several of his aunts, uncles, and cousins. His favorite gifts are a "talking" rocking horse from Pop-Pop and his musical learning table from his Grammy - he played with both over and over all day long! All in all, a good day! Merry Christmas to everyone!!

Meeting Santa!

Last Sunday, John & I took Sean to meet Santa for the 1st time. He was very low-key about meeting the big man! Obviously, he doesn't understand yet, but at least he didn't cry! He looks a little like "What is going on here - why are you taking my picture with this strange looking man?" His Pop-Pop came with us also - so it was a memorable 1st visit to Santa!

Sean's "School" Christmas Dinner

Tonight - the 3 of us went to the Sean's school (Gettysburg YWCA) where his teachers held a Spaghetti Dinner Christmas Party for the students & parents in his class. There were 10-15 children from Sean's class in attendance - ranging in age from a few months to almost 2. All 5 of the teacher's were there - and many parents, siblings, and other Y workers. It was a very nice dinner - although VERY messy for all of the children. Sean LOVED the spaghetti - although he was completely covered in it when he was done eating. After dinner - he ran all over the room - chasing his friends (Savannah, Kevin, and Brooke) and hugging one of his teacher's "Miss Sherry". He ate a piece of cheesecake for desert and got a present from his teachers. They made a T-shirt for each child (and onesie's for the babies) with each of the teacher's handprints on it - along with Sean's name. The teachers also made themselves shirts with each child's footprints on them - Sean's is right on the middle of the front of the shirt. Does that mean he's a favorite??? Personally, I think so! :)

Happy Birthday Rylee!

Sean's cousin, Rylee, turned 1 on Friday (she looks so pretty in her dress!) - and Sean was there to celebrate in full-force! He "helped" open and play with all of her presents, and he ate her cake by the handful - maybe from the practice he had at his own party 23 days before? We are hoping that as Sean & Rylee (and Paton) grow up they will be fast friends and enjoy playing together. So far, so good!
