The Christmas countdown is going well - we're halfway done and Mateo still enjoys it. Sometimes we do "big" activities and sometimes we do "small" activities, and sometimes Mateo likes the "small" activities as much or more than the "big" activities. For example, he took a pass on going to see Santa when he was in town. He said he just wanted Santa to pick something out for him. It was a surprise to us, but we respected his decision. Of course, a few days later we ran into Santa out of uniform in the grocery store and he told Mateo that he was on the nice list (even though he doesn't always listen). It was a much more magical experience than going to see him along with everyone else. Other things on the countdown have included a special day with Gabby and Papa, a playdate with Jadin, baking muffins, decorating the tree and a Christmas campout.
