Reading this made me cry looking at things from a baby's viewpoint makes things look very different.

Christmas Presents

This time of year is crazy figuring out what to get everyone on my list is a pain in the rear. I have the family that has everything they want and hates everything else. So this year I resolved to shop early and try not to stress about it. My motto was going to be “you get what you get and don’t throw a fit” like we taught the kids I used to work with. Well that was all great in theory but in my heart I always want everyone to like what I get them so it’s really not that easy to just not stress about what to get everyone. So I did what I do every year I stress and wake up in the middle of the night trying to make sure everyone gets just the right gift. I’m not going to say what I got everyone since most read this blog. But my point is that when did Christmas become so hard.  I miss the days when I was younger and no one expected a great present it was just exciting to get anything from me.  One of the most exciting things for me this year is getting presents for my daughter, she is already excited by wrapping paper so opening her presents should be exciting for me.
