We got out Christian’s coat from last year, and wouldn’t you know it, it is nearly too small. That boy is growing like a weed; he is almost as tall as Grandma and is up to my chin. Man, is he going to be tall. The pants I bought him will be high waters here soon I am sure. At this rate, I am going to have to buy him just a few items at a time rather than enough for the whole year.

Huh...

Christian was the last to see my stitched up hand. His response: “Ew. What happened?” I told him, but he was more interested in finding out out why Dad and I were home that day when he was at school. Once I explained the need for us to burn some vacation, he returned to the I-pad. He wasn’t there to see the blood and panic, so it is of no interest to him. I offered to let him watch the stitches come out, but he declined. Betting he reacts the same way to his dad’s LASIK procedure this coming Easter. Who cares what happens to Mom and Dad—we’re old.

From Lego and Back

For awhile there Christian had sworn off Lego's.  He didn't want anymore Lego's and was getting rid of some of them.  He wasn't that interested in any of the sets that were out and didn't really care about the old ones.

Things changed once he started looking at Lego related videos online.  Suddenly the Lego enthusiasm returned.  He got interested in the new Lego Dinosaur and Ninjago sets that had become available.  He also started to duplicate the original creations he saw on some of the online video's.  He's duplicated Super Mario, Luigi, Angry Birds, Transformers and many other characters, contraptions and items.  Anything he likes on the Lego videos, he duplicates if he has the pieces.  This year Santa isn't bringing as many Lego's as last year, but it may be a bigger Lego creating phase in his life.  Luckily Santa has all that technology and telescopes to see how good he is being.
