O What a Night

Last night was such a strange night.  At 4, I went to pick up Jacob from daycare, and just as I walked in the door he fell on a big wooden block and sliced open the underside of his chin and bit his tongue. The poor little guy was quite upset.  I took him to the ER to get him glued up, and  we spent our time in the waiting room looking at a kitchen renovation magazine, pointing out light fixtures. When the doctor came to glue him up, he was very brave and  didn't flinch or whimper for a second.  Then, it was off to his daycare Christmas party; a party that would have been fun if the venue weren't two sizes too small for the amount of people there.  It was pretty cramped, and loud, which means I didn't get pictures of Jacob doing the Christmas hokey pokey:(  I did, however, get a few of Jacob in costume, and his meeting with Santa who brought him a lovely new nursery rhyme book.

Oh, and to top the night off, in all of the commotion of the party, Jacob managed to undo the glue holding his chin together, and we had to revisit the ER to get it taped back up.  With a lovely rubber glove balloon to send us off, we were home by 10 and anxious for a well deserved good night sleep.

It's Beginning to Look a lot Like Christmas!

Everyday, when we come home from daycare, Jacob races and points to each set of Christmas lights in the house, and claps as I plug each in.  Christmas is so magical, I love it!
