We had a terrific Thanksgiving weekend this year. From perfect turkey to an epic Kansas win over Missouri at Arrowhead, it couldn't have been better! Except for some tummy trouble on Wednesday night that resulted in a very tired Thanksgiving day, Niko was a great participant in all the festivities. He let Grandma feed him mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving dinner (no veggies or protein, please!) while Grandpa held him on his lap. On Friday he shopped with the Donegans like a champ, even picking out clothes he wanted at Von Maur's (anything with a truck or train on it.) He loved the walking characters at Crown Center and the Christmas chorus, but prefered playing in Santa's playland to actually sitting on Santa's lap! He didn't cry though, just refused to smile....
We put up our tree on Sunday while Niko was napping, and he thinks it is pretty amazing. It has lights and trains and balls and stuffed monkeys on it .... what isn't amazing about that??! I've held him up to see the miniature train ornaments about a dozen times since yesterday. This morning he helped feed breakfast to all the ornaments with faces that he could reach. He is very into sharing his food, which results in a houseful of stuffed animals that smell like old milk. Luckily my mom took photos, since I've misplaced my camera....
