Well its finally arrived 1st December! my favorite month of the year – I get so excited at Christmas time, I just love the build up, the Christmas carols, the lights, the magic! Thomas opened the first door on his advent calendar this morning, he was so suprised to find a piece of chocolate in there: “Oooh Nice” he beamed as he chomped away at a tiny chocolate Christmas tree

It is starting to get cold outside, I bought Thomas a new scarf, hat and mitten set this week to keep him warm when were walking out. It doesnt stop his big cheeks getting all red and cold though I cant wrap him up like a mummy though! Im just over protective when it comes to keeping him warm when out. I think its because he is a December baby, born when it was snowing outside and really cold. I was constantly worried about him being warm enough.

Well the run up to Christmas has begun, its my birthday first though in 3 days and of course my little man will be 2 on 18th December so much to look forward to this month I love it. I hope you all have a stress free Christmas with loved ones and friends xx

I write Little Man “Found” His First Christmas Present! On the title it was actually Daddy who made the mistake of accidentally leaving it in the lounge downstairs after collecting it last night. Thomas like most boys is mad on trains and cars so we had a look round online and saw a fantastic brio kit on ebay. The brio kit has over 50 parts to it including bridges, trains, arches and even a zoo! we won it on ebay and Nathan went out last night to collect it. We had it all out last night looking through all the pieces and cleaning them making sure there ready for Christmas. Luckily Nathan had packed the majority of the brio away at the end of the night after I had gone to bed but he did leave a wooden car park on the floor in the lounge. So I am there carrying Thomas downstairs this morning, open the lounge door and there is a pretty impressive wooden three story car park….Well it was too late by then Thomas had spotted it, with a beaming smile on his face he got so excited wanting to play with it.

It was great to see Thomas so excited, he wanted me to play with him so I lay down on the mat next to him and shown him what to do, how to use the lifts and the ramps, how to park the cars he loved it! It sounds a little sad Iknow but I found a music channel on the tv that is already playing Christmas songs, it felt like Christmas morning! A small taster for what Christmas morning is going to be like when the lounge is all decorated and presents under the tree – Thomas is just going to be so hyper on the big day. Needless to say we decided to let Thomas have his early Christmas present, we couldnt take it off him after that he is a very lucky boy having an early Christmas present, I am just so glad that the car park was the only thing Nathan had left out.

It is Thomas’ 2nd birthday a week before Christmas, I cant believe my baby will be 2 where has the time gone! He is really growing up now, becoming a little boy. I am so excited about the future all the things we plan to do with him, all the experiences has yet to discover. Its upsetting to think around this time last year Thomas was very ill in hospital with bronchitis it was touch and go, I feel like crying every time I think about it, it was the worst moment in our lives. Nathan and I are blessed havin such a beautiful healthy little boy this Christmas and every Christmas is going to be so special, we love him so much words can not express.
