Christmas 2015 with Dexter was a truly awesome one! We thought that he was really into the spirit of it last year... well that was nothing compared to this year.
We took a trip to see Santa (and Dexter was absolutely thrilled that the present he got turned out to be a racing car! He'd "asked for one of those"...)
He had his first little acting role in the nativity at nursery and my little reindeer proper rocked it...
He went to bed on Christmas eve in his new reindeer jammies all excited after leaving Santa a mince pie and glass of milk to keep his energy levels up whilst delivering presents to our house.
And despite not doing the typical kid thing of getting up at the crack of dawn, he was buzzing to come into the room and see what he had got. There was so much he didn't know what to play with first, so he played with everything. All at once.
As a grown up, Christmas can be a little lacklustre but as a parent it is so fulfilling watching your child enthusiastically ripping off paper and being so enthralled with what's inside. That was definitely the best part of my Christmas this year.
And in return Dexter, brought some new things to the table for us:
- The question 'why?' - mostly to things that don't require an explanation. Always with the 'why?' I was wondering when this stage was going to hit.
- Dry nights!!!!!! It's only been a couple of months since Dexter did a lot of growing up and not only ditched the dummy, but daytime nappies as well but this past week or so he seems to have cracked holding it all night - yippee! bye bye pull-ups
