CHRISTMAS MOURNING

Tonight I told Ethan that we were going to have to take down the Christmas decorations (I know, I'm slow...I hate to see this season go). Ethan started to cry and said "I don't want you to take down the Christmas decorations - I want to keep them up." We had a little talk about how bummed we both were to have to say goodbye to the decorations for 11 months, and I told Ethan to take a second to look at his favorite ornaments before I put them away. He walked around the tree for a second and said "this ornaments is my favorite - goodbye, I'll miss you" and he leaned in and gave his ornament a kiss. It happened to be a airplane ornament that he got on his first Christmas. He followed up with a few other kisses for other favorite ornaments, like the "kuitar" that he got from Santa this year, along with a snowman and a couple others. What a cutie. What you don't know is that I thought it was such a good idea that I went around and kissed all my favorite ornaments too. ( : If only.
