A Day in the Life . . .

What a fun day just hanging out! I decided to capture the moments of a day in the life of Lincoln.
Eating our third cinnamon roll (in a row!) on the counter . . . no, we don't usually eat on the counter. He was just eating them so quickly, I plopped him between the container of cinnamon rolls and the microwave for efficiency purposes! We also sang our favorite Christmas Carols and practiced counting to six (big boy, right?) while we ate.
Recess was next: we played on the slide and the swing and helped Mommy wash the table. Someone wasn't paying attention while holding the hose and got his jeans all wet! It was a beautiful 70 degree December day.
More singing. Elmo has a book that plays Christmas Carols and Linc likes to see if I can keep up. Luckily the words are printed because I didn't know "Here We Come A-Caroling." Don't worry, I do now! Linc's favorite right now is "Jolly Old St Nicholas" but maybe that's because the button that plays this one has Ernie's face on it. We like Ernie!
After a nap and a trip to Tom Thumb and Home Depot, we just chilled. The empty wrapping paper tube is always a hit . . .
Another recess . . . more running wild!
Dinner was next, a viewing of Elmo's Christmas Countdown of course, then more playing. We finished up the evening with a snack on Daddy's lap.
It was a totally fun day! There were a few toddler meltdowns here and there (like when I suggested he wear pants - the horrors!), but we recovered quickly. I'm quite proud that he has on the same outfit through all the pictures. That's a rarity, as we usually find a few messes to get into. We kept an eye on the garage door man and tried to stay out of the housekeepers way . . . it was a busy day! I loved every second of hanging out with my little man!
