We sent the whole day roaming

Tiny was a champ about it

Christmas variety show

They put on this cute little show for the kids

Singing and dancing

Piggy Bank

Tiny has a bottle. An old cereal bottle hat once held this 'cereal' kids are supposed t like
He didn't like it
AT ALL
So now the container is his piggy bank
He understands what saving money is about.
For something you need later like food or clothes or a house or a toy.
He says that when his bottle is full he can get some toy trucks
He's allowed to pick up coins that he finds  at home and put them in the container
I also give him my change


The other day he got hold of another bottle and he said
Mama this is your piggy bank!

Now he finds coins and gets coins and fills up my piggy bank

He says
Mama, your bank is almost as full as mine!

I tell him
Baby fill your bank too!

He says
Yes, when yours is as heavy as mine.

OOOO
MMMM
GGGGG

LOVE!!!!!

At home

Our Christmas tradition is making our decorations together

Tiny paints and sticks things together

It is the best time

It's also wet paint messy if you don't have a mat

USE A MAT
 This is what it looks like this when you are almost done
Christmas is the best time of year
My best Chritmasses have been with Tiny :)

Christmas crafts

Tiny had Christmas crafts with the older kids

This kid marches to his own beat!

The teacher gave instructions about where and how much  etc and he insisted on his own way

When it comes to crafts I am the same

 Soooooooooo

There is that

Looks lovely!

In the water

Overheard
This morning, Tiny singing:
"That's my mama in the water, everything she knows I taught her"

Then I joined in
That's my Tiny in the water, everything he knows I taught him

Then we tried to sing over each other

Till we fell out laughing!!!!!!

Then we hightailed it outta there to go to the Christmas fair at school!
Love

Mailing them all tomorrow

YESSSSSSSSS!

Tiny approved of my drawing :)

That is all that matters
