Merry Christmas

Most shopping was done on-line this year. Much easier to do with a baby, or teenagers for that matter ;-)

We made a couple mistakes with Peter opening presents. Opening the toy after wrapping it. It worked fine for the first one, but... The second was giving the drumsticks second. He got those in his hands, grabbed an old cookie tin (my bad - it should have been in the sink), and was about the cutest little drummer boy for the next 15 minutes. We had to work hard to get him to open anything else.

My lovely wife got me a nook e-reader! It came with a couple kid's books that Peter really likes. They can read to Pete, although he doesn't get to hold the nook!

I've put a couple books on it and its great for reading in bed.

Happy birthday

Today at 12:17 pm was when Peter was born 2 years ago. It was the second time I became a dad, if you count my wedding day when I became a step dad (which I do). Pete is walking and talking and running and happy and healthy. We went caroling at a nursing home and he was good about shaking hands or giving high 5s with residents.

Pete is a wonderful boy but there is something to be said for good sisters that don't need diaper changes :).

What does it all mean?

Commer: Come Here. As in "Commer and read me a story."

Gup: Get up. As in "Gup and play with me."

Fayo: Follow. As is "Fayo Daddy"

Fayo Daddy: Crawl in circles, each lap taking us under the high chair. This is both fun and funny because daddy gets stuck every time unless he does a marine crawl.
