Most of December was consumed by preparations for Mom and Dad Peterson's visit, celebration of the holidays, and waiting for Simon to make his entrance. Mom and Dad were here for a month. The first 10 days passed quite slowly. We learned that the “watched pot never boils” adage also applies to pregnant ladies. (In contrast, the days following Simon’s delivery seemed to positively fly by.) While were waiting, we killed some time visiting an antique car museum and the town of Ghent, which proved to be enjoyable distractions.
We had a nice time on Christmas Day. We stayed home, relaxed, and ate yummy food. James received many more gifts than necessary. Like his cousin Bennett, it took James a few days to open all of them because he was more interested in playing with the toys than in making a concerted effort to open all of his presents. Goosie was just as interested in his papa’s gifts (a big remote-controlled helicopter and Zelda for the DS) as he was his own. He was so excited about the “copter” that it received copious pat-pats (“Touch it?”) and even a smooch… silly kid!
