The Magic of Christmas

It took several weeks, but Cannon finally noticed the ornaments on the Christmas tree. I purposely put "play-safe" ornaments within his reach and he has enjoyed playing with a few favorites. He LOVES asking for me to wind up the cello music box ornament, squeezing the sweater to see the lights flash, and turning the manger scene advent ornament to hear the Christmas story.

I hope all Christmases are filled with the awe of discovery and that we can instill such a sense of wonder as we anticipate the birth of Jesus.

In other news, we've started exploring the activity bags I've been saving and little by little he's figuring out how to do each one. He's meticulous about putting the pipe cleaners through the holes, although we have a ways to go in matching the colors.
