Porter's chit chat with Santa

First of all I would like to say, Andrew turned four months today, and it was the FIRST time he slept through the night. 11-7:30. He has been getting up EVERY three hours on the dot before last night. We have been working on a schedule since Mike has been on break and it has obviously worked in our favor. I hope tonight is just as great. Also another note. I guess he is not allergic to milk anymore, because at Thanksgiving, I decided to enjoy some dairy. He didn't react. So the next day I had more dairy, no reaction and so on and so on. So that was only 2 and a half months of no dairy. Not as bad as I thought.

On to Son 1.

Mike and I took P Diddy to see Santa today. We were prepping him while we were waiting in line "What will you ask Santa for?" "tell him you want world peace." "I want transformer spiderman........and bumblebee..........and transformers"

He told us "I wanna go by myself, you guys stay here, I'm going by myself." He held his hand up reassuring us...."don't worry, I got it guys." So we stood back and let him have his independence. He got up on Santa's lap and FROZE.

Santa: "What do you want for Christmas?"

Porter: "army guys."

S: "Is that all? do you want anything else."

P: (shook his head-no)

S: "Thanks for stopping by, have a Merry Christmas."

We asked, "why did you ask for army guys, he already brought you army guys?"

P: "Cause I want some."

When we got in the van, I asked if he got nervous or scared. Mike and I were grilling him. And he kept saying no. Then eventually he got mad, "NO! I wasn't nervous. I don't like to be afraid!"

I guess it was a touchy subject, but we feel really bad for making him feel stupid. I hope we haven't ruined his self esteem for life.

Anyway, then we took a trip to our favorite store...the D.I. (thrift store). We are always lookin' for a deal on something we need. We are gonna miss this place when we move. We always find funny treasures and there is always something for everyone. Kids and Adults. It's our form of entertainment. We did not purchase anything today, but we still had fun.

On the way home, Porter was so upset that we wouldn't get him a "lunchable" (his favorite treat). So he told us "I'm not playing with you two!" And argued the whole way home, where he fell asleep around 4:03pm. He then woke back up around 7 tonight.

Shortly after he woke up, Mikey came home. They decided to have a sleepover party in the sleeping bags and watch "Robots". Well, when Mike went to search for the sleeping bags, Porter turned around and smashed his lip on the corner of the door frame. He insisted on having a band aid on it, and that is what you see here. He was NOT happy that I was taking his picture during this traumatizing time.

I hope that I can remember these days, when we get to enjoy or little kids all the laughing and the yelling. :) It's so fun.
