prep and whhhhhaaaaa??

So my little 14 month old has discovered the greatest thing, second to walking...the TV show Prep and Landing. When it's on, everything LITERALLY comes to a stop! His whole world is focused on these two elves...Manny and Lenny. I've lost count on how many times we've seen it. It's the only thing on tv he watches (thank goodness). I've never seen him stop so quickly and zone out to the tunes of "chestnuts roasting on an open fire...." Last Christmas he was 2 months old and was a bump on the log! This year is a whole new ballgame! A whole new territory for me (and Jay). We are starting new traditions this year and it makes me very excited. Granted he's only 14 months old, but it's lasting memories. I have to savor all I can from the get go!

Is it so crazy that mom's (or ME rather) get so sentimental over some of the craziest and yet cheesiest things? While the dad's seem to take it as a grain of salt...no big deal. I know deep down all the cheesy sentimental "nothings" get to them. I'm doing all the nutty stuff, "OH but it's his FIRST time to see Christmas lights!" "OH it's his first time to taste Thanksgiving food" "OH  BUT it's his first pair of shoes..." "I HAVE TO WITNESS IT ALL!!!!!!! EVERYTHING!!!" I think I need to take my dose of crazy pill and chillax a little. I know things will be different with my second child and little mi-nute things won't be so overly dramatic haha he is, afterall, my first.

Merry CHRISTmas everyone! He IS the reason for this season, He is the center of all it and I don't want the hectic holidays to overshadow His blessings and grace!
