We are so blessed to have two beautiful, happy and healthy boys. Lucas continues growing (in length and girth) and is more and more interactive. Henry has been really enjoying the Christmas season this year pointing out all the lights on our way home each evening: "Christ lights in the house, mommy!" or "Christ light down the street!" or "Christ lights blinking!" Mom returned to work after 12 weeks at home with Lucas. It has certainly been a tougher transition going back to work this time, much harder to leave both boys and much harder to get out the door each morning. Something that has helped ease my mind during my day away is that Lucas has been in the capable and loving care of Grandma and Grandpa for 2 weeks as part of our 4 week wait for a daycare opening.
We are also very lucky that Santa Claus makes a trial run stop at our friend's house every year. This is the 3rd year that Henry has been able to meet Santa Claus in person. The first year Henry was willing to sit on his lap, although seemed very skeptical of the big guy. Last year he would have nothing to do with Santa Claus and refused to be in the same room. We made some progress this year; we were able to be in the same room, but mom had to act as a buffer. Henry told Santa he wanted a truck, and then he was "all done!"
Henry's daycare had Peace Week this past week, where they celebrate cultural diversity and kindness. Henry initially refused to participate in the class project of painting luminaries, but he changed his mind when his teacher pointed out that the beige paint was the same color as his skin (?) It turned out quite beautifully as you can see.
