Tigger-isms

Tigger has dropped a few gems the last few days that I had to share:

• 'I can't close my eyes by myself' - his pronouncement tonight after being put to bed - a stall tactic to be sure
  
• 'Mama, feel me better' - his request at 4:30 am to help him feel better when his coughing woke him up
• 'I'm a Mom' - yesterday morning when he put on a toy necklace (after seeing that I had a necklace on)

I'll wrap up with a few pictures from Tigger's recent stitches incident. He ran into a desk at school last Thursday and had his first stitches experience - 3 stitches to be exact!

Christmas Part 2

After all the holiday festivities with the extended family, we were finally at home and were able to do our own Christmas. Papa TT and I had decided Tigger was old enough for a real bike. This was the first of many pre-Christmas-toy-assembly-nights:

The kids loved opening their presents. Even Tilly is very good at ripping off wrapping paper!





Tilly was more excited about the chocolate candy in her stocking than any present.




After the gifts we lured Tigger downstairs for his last present...




Papa TT and I erred and got one that was too big. He can't even reach the pedals! We went back the next day and got the next smallest size. The first time he got on it he took off!

Tilly wants to play too!

The damage wasn't too bad. Some of the mess is also presents for Papa TT (a pizza stone he's been wanting for months) and me (Kennedy Center show tickets) - it's not just the kids:)

Christmas Part 1

We had lots of Christmas fun this holiday season so I have to break it into two posts.

Earlier in December, we got a Christmas tree and the kids had great fun decorating it!








And a star on the top:
A few weeks later G-Ma and G-Pa T came for a visit. Tigger and Tilly helped G-Ma T make a snack. They ate as much as they helped prep!


Then there were presents.



We spent Christmas with the family in Texas. Unfortunately we forgot our camera but I did get this great video of the kids singing Jingle Bells with their cousins and Aunt Lorelei. Watch how Tilly just stares at Lorelei. And Tigger's 'Hey!' with a jump.
