My big news this month is that I use the potty now ('mostly' regularly). Do you know what helped me make the leap? Underwear with Batman and Superman and other fun stars! And Lego underwear! (That bribing thing with the gummies was good in concept, but it didn't lead to action.)
I like giving Thambi a ride on my tricycle, and he has a lot of fun too.
December was the season to prepare for Christmas. When I came home and Amma had already put up the Christmas tree, I immediately wanted to make a gingerbread house! (I remembered this from last year). Amma and I spent a few days making my gingerbread house (see the pic below), though I suppose I did consume a few too many of the house accoutrements.
I love lights, especially in the dark; they are so crucial and beautiful and illuminating in many ways. There were many trees with lights: at home (one small, one big), around town, and at the Botanical Gardens in Denver.
The week before Christmas I hung out with Nicole for a few days. She brought paints so I painted!
Christmas day itself was fun. Thambi and I both got a tennis racquet; we play inside the house mostly with them. I received a lot of trains from my second cousins (Petey's old trains). But the best present was the motorcycle from Grandpa! It even has a back shock.
We finished up the month with ... hockey! We went down to see Takaji playing and it was fast-paced. Now we play it at home in the kitchen with a magnet as a puck and big spoons as sticks.
Thank you God for hockey, motorcycles, gingerbread, and family.
