Presents

It’s a challenge to balance presents between two kids. I wanted to make sure they were fair and equal, even if that meant size wise. Tomorrow is the last night of Channukah, and the big presents are a coming. They have been getting little gifts, a ball, playdoh, cars, new game.

The least liked gift, as least for Noah aka as the opinionated one, was the stuffed piglet on the first night.

Just minutes after piglet was opened….

Channukah - Day 1

…he ended up in the play kitchen oven.

Baked Piglet.

Kyle commented, “Your not treating Piglet like a friend, your treating him like a piece of meat.” And soon after that Noah wanted to put Piglet in the refrigerator.

I thought he would be into Piglet because he loves the House on Pooh Corner stories. And he’s been going through a phase where he is calling all of us different characters from the story. He is Strong Piglet. Apparently somethings are just better in his imagination.

The other gifts have going off swimmingly and with lots of enthusiasm. I’m actually not sure where Piglet has ended up at this point. One out of eight gifts is too bad.

Next year, I’ll plan better! I saw someone who did their holiday cards in the summer. I might just try that next year. Get to making my gifts and holiday cards done super early.

Then again, I may just be trying to survive a hot, humid existence.
