The Simple Things

Liam got quite a few very amazing and wonderful toys and amusements for Christmas, any number of which should provide endless hours of entertainment for a little tyke. For the past 45 MINUTES (an amazing attention span for any 10 month old) he has been playing with.......a used up wrapping paper roll. The large wand of cardboard is apparently the MOST amazing thing he has ever encountered. It has been causing me to laugh loudly and fully for many minutes. He has managed to even maneuver it while he is crawling and will bring it with him from room to room so he can pound the cardboard on different surfaces. "Let's see what carpet sounds like! How about tile? What about the wall?". He is positively delighted and delightful. Also, if I take it away from him and place it across the room, he achieves new record speeds of lightning crawling to get to it. So cute. I could watch this all day! It makes me recall Kate when she was a wee one and the BEST toy ever that you could give her to keep her interest was a plastic water bottle. So much for Santa and his deliveries! :)

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Next stop - 2007! Whoa!
