Pam just called me, bawling like crazy, after dropping off Will 0.2 at Little Hearts & Hands for the first time. She’s headed to work, and I’m back at work, so we’re starting to get a little more normal around here.
We picked up our Christmas tree last night ($45!) and it’s been drying out in the garage all night. Tonight we’ll bring it into the house and get it decorated, and hopefully the cats won’t destroy it the first night. We’ve had so much ice and rain here that I doubt I’ll be able to do my orange-and-blue Christmas lights on the outside of the house this year. Normally, I put them up Thanksgiving weekend, but this year we ran into a scheduling conflict.
Our plan this year is to spend a few days in Troy with the Adomite/Lenny side of the family, and then head home Christmas Eve so that Will can have Christmas morning at home.
We’re trying to find good presents for a three-month-old. He seems to be craving more stimulation, but we’re having a hard time finding toys that entertain him without overwhelming him. I’m wondering about a LeapPad, but I need to do more research.
Give Pam a call today or tonight to see how she’s doing. She really was a wreck this morning after dropping off Willpower.

Pam–
Some “firsts” are more fun than others. I know it is especially hard with all that Will has been through lately to leave him in the hands of others. Perhaps you can go over on your lunch time to reassure yourself.
Hang in there–it will get easier.

This is Becky (Jimmy Morani’s wife),
I checked back on our blog and noted that at three months old , Jacob’s favorite thing to do was to lay on his back on his play mat/gym and kick and punch toys that were hanging above him.. I would literally hang anything that he had that made noise when shaken or kicked.. i think i had maybe 20+ things hanging down and he would just lay there entertaining himself by shaking or kicking it like crazy… or he liked to rattle baby keys. He also enjoyed sitting up in his bumbo chair at that stage. Glad to hear he’s doing better! Becky Morani
