Today, F and I went to buy our Christmas tree. I was planning on going on a cold and snowy day like we did when he was just a baby, all bundled up in his stroller. It wasn't snowing and it wasn't even cold. But F chose a nice tree.
While I was browsing my albums, looking for another picture, I found the one below taken a year ago. The hair is shorter now, but all the rest has grown. The last signs of babyhood that could still be seen in the 3 year-old on the left, have completely vanished in the 4 year-old little boy on the right. The concentration and the excitement are still the same.

If you are planning on buying a real Christmas tree this year (here in New York), here is a link that I found today with lots of tips on where to buy, how to choose it, how to recycle it and so on.
Oh, and look who's visiting us this year:
This is our very own elf. Santa sent it to us so he could watch how we are all behaving (including me). F is completely into it. However, each time I need to remind him to be nice, he goes to the elf and says "sorry" to him, as if that would solve his problem towards Santa. He's also not supposed to touch the elf, otherwise it would lose its "magic" (it comes with a book explaining everything). But since he saw it this morning he's been thinking on how he would climb the bookcase in order to catch it. Not sure this elf thing is going to work here with us...
<3 Oh, the magic of Christmas... lasts forever! <3 Adoro a carinha desse "Elf on the Shelf"... conheco uma pessoa que toda manha troca o Elf de lugar, e as criancas ficam malucas procurando... acho q fiquei com vontade de comprar um pra nos =). Como diz meu marido, eu nao quero que meus filhos crescam... enjoy a inocencia dos seus!
ReplyDeleteAqui também ele está mudando de lugar. Hoje apareceu deitado em cima de um quadro :) Mas, o F. já não quis tentar pegar. É tão bonitinho ver a reação deles. Acho que já vai virar tradição aqui em casa.
ReplyDeleteEles jamais se esquecerao <3
