Trini Christmas

Hope you guys had a good holiday! Alex celebrated his first active Christmas this year. He was super excited to open his gifts and eat official trinidadian Christmas food. He was all about his pastelles, sorrel and Beef Ham. Yes that is correct ham made out of beef...who knew such as thing existed?

All week Alex has been pulling down the ornaments on the tree (and other people's trees) and passing the boxes around wondering what was inside. Finally he was able to tear open the paper.

Sometimes I forget that he is just 15 months, he is transitioning so well into being a big boy.

 

 

Have a good New Year!

It became apparent that Alex's hair was growing too long when the majority of my morning routine became picking lint out of his hair. No matter how much time I spent taking out little strands of lint here and there, new pieces always appeared. The hair was also a point of contention when Alex decided he wanted to throw a temper tantrum. After banging his hands on the ground to no avail, his next move was always self deprication. A small tuff at the front of his hair usually received a good tugging.

So my plan was put into place...Snackanimals please? Check. Entice the boy with his favorite oatmeal cookies. I have no shame in using sweets to get results. Final results: A perfect boy

I must say that it makes his face look much older. I'm feeling 10% of regret.
