Tis the Season!

Adam and I put the tree up last week- the earliest I think we have ever had a tree up! I didn't drag out the ornaments because that's Dave's thing so every night Dave would bring a bunch down and have Adam help hang them.  Adam was soo cute and would always ask for one more.  One night over the weekend, Dave put a bunch up.  I was afraid Adam would freak out in the morning but he was totally fine with Santa adding some more super heros to the tree.

Inspired by Cheryl's post about putting the train out for D & J, we decided to get Adam a train for under the tree, too.  It came today and Adam wanted to open it right away.  He was soo excited and kept playing with the remote while Dave put together the track.  Once it was ready to go, Dave told him that he (Dave) needed to drive it first to make sure it worked.  Then he handed to remote back to Adam and Adam said no! He said he didn't want to drive it until he was 4.  It took about a minute of telling him it would be OK and then he was all about driving the train.  I'm surprised the batteries still work with all the stopping, starting, whistle, and bell ringing the train went through today!

Adam and I went to the mall today and he STILL wants nothing to do with Santa.  I think that if given the choice, Adam wouldn't have even walked on the first floor remotely near Santa.  It was very funny to see him make a large arc around when I tried to walk towards Santa.  There was no one in line and I thought maybe I could get him to give a high five or something but no...maybe next year.  I've been trying to get him to go to this Snowflake Castle at the Senior Center here but I think he heard me talking to one of the other mom's about a Santa being there and now he says he wants to stay home. Maybe I'll just throw him in the car tomorrow and tell him it's a surprise.  The other mom said Santa is in another room so hopefully he'll enjoy the crafts and stuff.

Adam has a new best friend at the Community Center!  His name is Luka and he is a year older (bday is Oct 27th). It started off as Adam "stalking" but the 2 get along so well!  Luka is super cute and always runs up to Adam at the playground and says "Hi Adam!  Remember me? I'm Luka!" They were in the Sprouts room together on Tues. and Adam didn't want to leave.  "Look mom!  Luka's here and we're making corn!".  We were just about to leave the CC but Adam wanted to go back to the Sprouts room to say goodbye to him.  Just then, his dad came to pick him up so the 2 of the ran off to the playground together until Luka had to go to his lessons.  Luka always gives him a hug when he leaves. SO freaking cute!  I'll have to ask his parents for their info or something in case our schedules don't match up next quarter.
