We opened presents a little early. We did make it all the way to the first day of Winter this time for our family gifts and then Santa came on Sunday morning.
On the unseasonably warm first day of Winter, we sat by together to open some presents wrapped. Elliot had some of his favorite “Malk Choc” and I drank some spice tea. We exchanged a few gifts with the camera positioned enticingly on the piano keys.

He’s so sneaky…
Here are the bath paints in action as well as his new bath airplane.
The next day Santa came! Elliot got more trains, an RC Thomas, a Yo Gabba Gabba boom box, some Seasme Street dolls, a toy piano with two octaves and working black keys, and a drum kit!
Per request, here are the first few of minutes of Elliot enjoying his presents.

We watched his Monsters University movie in spurts later that day. Logan and I were enjoying it, having watch the first one many years ago, but Elliot kept leaving. I ended up setting him up with his favorite youtube channel, Coilbook with Shawn the Train. As soon as the movie was over, Elliot came back in the room and hugged me! Were the monsters scaring him? It had not really occurred to us that they might! So we practiced Roaring to lighten the mood of the situation.
