The gift that gives.

There were a few things that stuck out for us yesterday.  Jack slept through the night for the first night ever (Merry Christmas, Mom and Dad!), and that kid is going to grow up hopelessly spoiled if the presents continue for future Christmases.  We seriously need to rethink storage options in his room.  After we put the plate covers back on the electrical outlets, of course.

One of the stocking stuffers I bought for Ben was a small keychain.  It’s the kind that beeps and blinks when you whistle, which seems pretty cool until you remember that,darn, Ben can’t whistle.  Which he pointed out to me so kindly when he asked with righteous indignation “What is this, some kind of cruel joke?”  And yes… I had forgotten.

All was not lost, however, because a miraculous event occurred: Jack’s high pitched squealing sets that thing off better than any whistle. Christmas was saved!   Pictures will be posted at some point.  Hope everyone had a great holiday, and if you don’t celebrate Christmas, I hope you had a lovely Tuesday!
