We had a fine Christmas. I got an iPod Nano, and it's so small, I honestly don't think I'm going to have it for very long. I lose things, you see. Nils had it engraved with my name and phone number in case I lose it. That's nice and everything, but like someone's actually going to call me when they find a stray iPod. I'll enjoy it while I have it. And I'm going to try really hard not to lose it. I promise. I got Nils a surround sound system. He's been crying his eyes out for YEARS for one. This is what I've learned from this experience: From now on, I'm getting my husband whatever techno-gadget noise making thing he wants (within reason). In years past, I've done the thoughtful, homemade gifts, or something mushy or sentimental. While he likes them fine, I've never seen his face full of such sincere joy while opening a gift as I did Sunday morning. So forget thought and sentiment. I'm going to Best Buy from now on. Anders got a Big Wheel and a Thomas the Tank Engine track-block set. Addie got a couple of baby toys. She just doesn't care yet.
We painted our room last night. We've had the paint since September, and I've been very curious to see what it would turn out like. I gotta say- it's blue. We only did two walls because of the blueness. We weren't too sure last night, but we woke up this morning and agreed that we like it. I'm glad we only stuck with the two walls. I would probably feel like I had been swallowed up in the sea if we'd done all of them.
Okay, I have to go- I have an appt. at the gym. I need to write more about Anders' sleep training, so don't let me forget.
