Relaxing

Sunday evening, we decided to take the boys to the lights display at Hartwood Acres. Isaiah is just the perfect age for this. He was in awe of every elf, santa, and dancing bear. He loved hearing about the 12 days of Christmas, which is funny because any time I've tried to sing that song to him, we get to about seven and he says, "Mommy, lets sing a different song." But he loved seeing the drummers drumming, the maids a-milking, etc. Sam sat in his car seat, sucking his thumb the whole time, and occasionally yelling out, "Wow!" By the way, he is slowly but surely adding to his vocabulary. His latest new words are cookie, wow, whoa, and day. But our drive through Hartwood was so relaxing because the boys were so calm.

Because of the new toys the boys got for Christmas, I decided to go through their old toys last night and this morning. It is awfully hard to get rid of those baby toys! We have so many toys that are in great condition, but the boys have just grown out of them, so it's time for them to be passed on.

After the craziness that was Christmas, it has been nice just relaxing at home with the boys. Dan has been able to be home a little more than usual, which has also been a nice break.

Quote of the day from Isaiah, after I told him not to worry about something, "But, I NEED to worry about it!" How true. So many adults feel that way, but would never say it so plainly. =)
