What a fun Christmas morning this year was! Before I took Owen upstairs to get ready for bed on Christmas Eve, I showed him all of the "new" presents under the tree and told him when he got up, we would open them up. Well, he cleaned up his room and wondered if it was now time to open them up; then brushed his teeth and wondered if it was time to open presents then. We told him he had to go to bed first . . . how neat then we he woke up on Christmas morning and came in the twins' room to play and upon hearing the mention of presents, he ran downstairs by the tree. The challenge is that now that he "gets" it, is to realize they all aren't for him. This is still a challenge as he plays with things that were the babies' presents and doesn't want them to play with them. The wonder in his eyes this year was just wonderful. As you can see the babies' big gift was an activity table which they love to stand and kneel at to play. Looks like Layna and Owen will be the ones who need to work on sharing.
