So...when Parker threw a "mine mine mine" fit over a gift card Christmas Eve, we decided to get him excited about giving presents not just getting them. He loved playing Santa's helper, with the exception of his slicky elf socks making him fall down occasionally. Christmas morning, Grandpa and I were poised at the bottom of the stairs with video cameras, but Daddy wasn't in on the plan and brought him down holding his inhalers and a dirty diaper (I edited out that part). After completely bypassing the tree, Parker did come back and open the rest of his presents. He has loved playing with every one. His current favorites are his first Play-doh and a mini shopping cart.
