Today's the first hari of my vacation and it's going to take me a while to get back into the routine of taking care of Christian completely on my own every day. I woke up around 9 o'clock in the morning because I knew Christian would be awake any menit now. I walked into the room just as he was opening his eyes and berkata "good morning buddy!" I think he was surprised that I was there because he asked "you're not going to work daddy?" I berkata "not for three months."
I picked him up and brought him downstairs. I put him down on the ground and noticed something taped to the refrigerator. I put the susu on the counter and grabbed the piece of paper off of the fridge to see what it was. I knelt down selanjutnya to Christian and asked "what's this?" He berkata "those are my stickers to tampil anda how many times I used the potty daddy. The red stars are the accidents and the yellow stars are the good ones." I asked "how come anda haven't showed me this before buddy?" He berkata "I want to; but anda are tired." I felt really guilty as I looked down at him and I berkata "I don't want anda to ever feel like anda can't tampil me something just because I've had a long hari at work buddy! I don't care how tired I am; anda can spend time with me."
I looked at the piece of paper and noticed that there were significantly lebih yellow stars with about 10 red stars scattered throughout the page. I berkata "it's definitely getting better. I wish some of those red stars weren't there; but it's getting better! We'll work on it while I'm on vacation. You're still having quite a bit of accidents huh buddy?" He berkata "yeah; I'm sorry daddy" and started crying.
I picked him up and berkata "it's okay Christian; why are anda so upset? It's no big deal; anda know I don't care about that stuff!" He berkata "but daddy; I don't want anda to be mad! I want to make anda happy! I didn't do good!" I don't have any idea why Christian is so critical of himself; but it makes me feel horrible!" I grabbed the piece of paper and asked "do anda see this? This is so good Christian! Why would anda think that I would be mad at you? I'm happy buddy; trust me! We just need to work on it a little bit lebih until there's no red stars!" He berkata "you're supposed to be mad at me; aren't you?" I berkata "of course not" and hugged him as tight as I possibly could!

I'm a daddy on a mission this week and my mission is to hopefully complete this potty training thing with Christian. He is almost completely trained and I can't wait to put this thing behind us because I'm running out of carpet cleaner.
Christian came downstairs after waking up this morning and walked up to me as I stood at the counter drinking my coffee. I knelt down and gave him a hug as I berkata "good morning buddy; did anda sleep well?" He shook his head yes and I asked "did anda already use the bathroom?" He berkata "yup" and was about to sit at the meja when I berkata "I'm making breakfast sandwiches instead of just cereal; so when they're finished cooking I will bring one in to anda and the two of us can eat in the living room while we watch cartoons."
After the egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches were finished cooking, I came into the living room with them on a plate. I sat down selanjutnya to Christian on the dipan, sofa and passed Christian his sandwich. I definitely think Christian likes the idea of having me halaman awal for three months because I think he was getting sick of eating cereal every morning.
Christian had ketchup on his face; so I leaned over to wash it with a napkin and that's when I realized the dipan, sofa was soaking wet. I looked at Christian and he berkata "I think I need to go potty daddy." I rolled my eyes and berkata "I think anda already did." I joked "why did anda have to pee on my couch?" I think Christian thought I was mad because he burst out crying.
After cleaning him and the dipan, sofa up, he was still crying and I asked "what's wrong Christian?" He berkata in between sobs "I made anda mad!!!" I picked him up and berkata "I'm not mad at anda at all Christian; daddy was joking!" He insisted "you're supposed to be mad at me daddy!" I hugged him and berkata "no I'm not supposed to be mad at you! Do I look mad?" He berkata "no; but why aren't anda mad at me?" I berkata "because I would never get mad at anda for anything! I might get disappointed in anda sometimes; but I'll never be mad at you! I thought anda went to the bathroom already though." He berkata "I was going to when I came down here; but then anda berkata that I could watch kartun and I kind of forgot." I berkata "well; I'm not too happy that anda lied to me Christian. It would've been better if anda just berkata anda had to go. It would've taken just a few menit and then anda could have come in here to watch cartoons. Doesn't that make a lot lebih sense than going through all of this?" I think he started to get what I was saying because he gave me a hug and a kiss.
***
I excitedly shouted "high five Christian!" He looked at the chart taped to the fridge and gave me a high-five. I berkata "I think it's pretty aman, brankas to say that anda are officially potty trained now buddy! anda haven't had an accident in a week; not even at night and that shocks me. I'm so proud of anda buddy!" He jumped into my arms and was way lebih concerned about the bag of permen on the counter than what I had to say.
I passed him some M&Ms and we went into the living room to play with his toys. I usually keep the TV on and a halloween commercial came on. I wasn't surprised that they were using "Thriller" as the musik on the advertisement because that song has become sort of a halloween tradition. Christian looked up at the TV and I asked "would anda like to go trick-or-treating this tahun like the kids on TV?" He berkata "get permen daddy!" I chuckled and berkata "yeah; people will give anda candy!" He berkata "okay" and I was kind of regretting bringing up the idea of trick-or-treating because I just realized that I have no choice other than to disassociate myself from the Jehovah's Witness religion. Sometimes I wish the rules weren't so strict because I want Christian to experience holidays just like any other child. I hope mother won't be too mad at me!
***
Yesterday my paperwork was approved and I've been officially disassociated from the Jehovah's Witness religion. My mother's on the way over and I don't know how she's going to take the news. The worst part is that Christian is taking a nap; so I can't use his cuteness as a distraction from our conversation.
Once she arrived, the two of us sat down in the living room and she asked "what did anda want to talk about Michael?" I asked "can I ask anda a hypothetical question?" She berkata "yeah; I guess." I asked "what would anda think if I told anda that I disassociated myself from the Jehovah Witnesses?" She sat there silently for a few menit and then she asked "this isn't a hypothetical question; is it Michael?" I let out a deep sigh and berkata "no; it's not mother." She looked up at me and whispered "why?" I berkata "I'm not trying to hurt anda mother because I know how important me being a Jehovah's Witness is to you; but I want Christian to experience the things that I never got to growing up!" She berkata "Michael; you're my only good son! I cinta my children equally of course; but you're the only one that ever listens to me anymore! All the others got sucked into the world of greed and I think any hope of getting them back is long gone now! I understand why anda did what anda did and I accept it; but anda should know that I'll never agree with it!"
She got off of the dipan, sofa and walked into the kitchen. I followed after her as she opened the front door and I shouted "mother; wait! I'm not trying to hurt you!" She didn't seem mad at me which was a good thing I guess; but I think it definitely saddens her to have me abandon one of the things that the two of us shared over the years.
I ran upstairs to my room and sat on my tempat tidur as I started to cry. I always try to make others happy instead of myself and I felt like I had to choose between Christian and my mother. I could either make my mother happy oleh practicing that religion atau make my son happy oleh letting him experience things like Halloween, Christmas, and Thanksgiving. Part of being a father is putting my son first before anyone else. I'm hoping all this will pay off in the end because right now I feel like the world's worst son.
Suddenly, I noticed Christian climbing onto my tempat tidur and he asked "why anda cry daddy?" I tried my best to dry my tears before he saw me crying; but it was already too late for that. I berkata "I'm just a little said; that's all." He berkata "you need a hug daddy" and wrapped his arms around me. I smiled and berkata "thank you; I think that's exactly what I needed buddy." He berkata "don't cry anymore!" I chuckled and berkata "okay; I won't!"
***
Christians surprised me when he berkata he didn't want to be Mickey mouse for his first halloween and I'm starting to think that he just wants the permen lebih than the whole experience of trick-or-treating. I think he finally settled on being a doctor after changing his mind over and over again. I hope he's okay with that because I just bought the costume and I have a feeling he's going to look so adorable. I got the costume just in time because halloween is today. I came up with the idea of buying myself a costume as a disguise; so I can go trick-or-treating without a giant mob of fan knowing that I'm even near them.
I was in the living room opening up the costumes when Christian came in and noticed them. He asked "is that my doctor costume?" I berkata "it sure is buddy!" He asked "what are anda going to be daddy?" I berkata "I'm going to be Spiderman because that's the only thing with a mask that will cover my whole head." I helped him put his costume on and he looked so cute. The white jaket was way too big for him and his hands pretty much got lost inside the sleeves. I think his favorit part of the costume was the stethoscope and I think he thought it was real because he kept trying to check my jantung beat.
After I got my costume on, we went outside and Tim dropped us off in the middle of town. I told him to pick us up in about 45 menit because I figure any longer would be too long for Christian; since he just turned three a few weeks ago.
Christian was having a blast knocking on the doors. I was always trying to get him to ask for the candy; but he's way too shy for that. He didn't even really want to take the permen because he was too afraid. He would only take it if I took it from the bowl first and he took him from me.
I looked down at my watch and realized that Tim would be looking for us in a few minutes; so I berkata "this is going to be the last house Christian because we have to go home." We walked up to the door with Christian holding my hand and the doorknob turned. The door swung open and a teenager wearing a serigala mask with a flannel kemeja growled at Christian.
Christian immediately freaked out and started hysterically crying as he clung to my arm. I picked him up and looked at this teenage boy as I asked with an irritated tone "seriously? That was so immature of anda to scare a three-year-old! I'm glad anda think that's so funny dude because I don't at all!"
I carried Christian off of the property and back to the SUV where Tim was. I climbed into the car with him on my lap as he continued to cry. I berkata "it's okay buddy; I know that boy was mean! He berkata "daddy; we go home!" I berkata "yup; we're going halaman awal right now!" He seemed all shaken up because of what had just happened; so I excitedly asked "do anda want me to make cokelat chip pancake for dinner?" His eyes widened and I chuckled as I berkata "I thought anda would like the sound of that!"
oleh the time we got back to the ranch, it was almost 7 o'clock at night and we usually eat makan malam at 5; so I wasn't surprised to see that Christian was getting tired. He was practically falling asleep at the meja while he was eating his pancakes. I sat down selanjutnya to him and fed him bites from his plate as he struggled to keep his eyes open.
After he had eaten most of the food I picked him up and whispered "are anda ready to go night – night Christian?" I patted his back as I carried him upstairs and got him ready for bed. I brought him into his room and put him under the covers. I thought he was almost asleep at this point; but when I leaned in to give him a kiss, his eyes shot open and he asked "are anda eating my permen daddy? anda smell like skittles!" I berkata with a guilty grin on my face "maybe!" He berkata "you are; I can see the red on your teeth and your tongue is purple!" I giggled and berkata "alright; anda caught me! There's plenty lebih left; so I snuck a couple pieces!" He lightly pecked my lips and berkata "don't eat all of my permen daddy!" I chuckled as I shut off the light and turned the TV on. Christian berkata "I cinta anda lebih daddy!" I laughed as I berkata "hey; I'm supposed to say that! I cinta anda lebih Christian!"

It was weird being able to celebrate halloween because I've never been allowed celebrate it before and now I have to figure out how to celebrate Thanksgiving because that's right around the corner. My mother still won't talk to me ever since she found out that I left the Jehovah's Witness religion and I don't know if she's mad at me atau not. I wish I could convince her to leave the religion as well; because I want her to be able to be a part of all these new experiences with us.
I was sitting at the dapur meja waiting for Christian to wake up and there was a knock at the door. I got up to answer it and my manager Frank was standing there. I invited him inside and he berkata "I just wanted to stop in and see how you're doing; and I haven't seen anda in about a month. How are anda enjoying your vacation?" I berkata "I finally disassociated myself from the Jehovah's Witnesses and now I'm just trying to figure out how to celebrate Thanksgiving. I'm thinking I should invite as many people as possible over to the house for Thanksgiving." He berkata "I'll definitely come Michael! I usually celebrate Thanksgiving with my family; but if anda want me to I can come!" I berkata "only if anda want to Frank and if it's okay with your family. I really think anda should celebrate with them instead Frank because they are your family; not me and Christian!" He berkata "I consider anda part of my family Michael; anda know that!" I berkata "yeah; but anda don't feel the same way about Christian!" He berkata "I'll be the first to admit that I wasn't too keen on the idea of anda becoming a father; but I'm slowly getting used to it as time passes." I berkata "Christian is going to wake up soon; so anda should probably go. Feel free to stop oleh on Thanksgiving hari for a couple of hours; but anda really should spend it with your family Frank!" He patted my shoulder and berkata "will do for sure!" He shut the door behind him and I walked upstairs to check on Christian to see if he was awake yet.
I walked into his room and he was once again hanging off the side of the bed. I ran to catch him before he fell off the tempat tidur and smacked his head on the floor. I picked him up and berkata "good morning Christian." He opened his eyes and rubbed them as he berkata "good morning daddy." I berkata "I'm going to make anda some breakfast and while anda eat, I'm going to make some phone calls to invite your aunts and uncles to come over on Thanksgiving."
I went downstairs and made Christian some oatmeal for breakfast. Afterwards, I went into the living room and started to call each one of my siblings. Surprisingly, all of them agreed to come over and I'm hoping it's not because my brothers want to ask me for money to pay for another one of their "get rich quick" schemes. I really hope I don't regret inviting them because it usually doesn't end very well for me!
***
My alarm clock started beeping and I opened my eyes just as the sun started to come up. I got ready for the hari and went downstairs to make myself a cup of coffee. I went to the pantry and grabbed a bunch of different food to start preparing for our Thanksgiving meal this afternoon. I am a pretty good cook; but I've never tried to make some of these foods before and I hope I don't screw it up. I was at a complete loss about how to cook a turkey and this was one of those times when I wish I could call my mother for advice.
I know that that's going to take the longest to cook, so I put that in first and hoped for the best. I decided that it's probably best if I cook the things that I'm most familiar with first; so I made the mashed potatoes and vegetables before starting the lebih difficult things. I'm not really familiar with baking things; I just hope that these pies turn out okay.
After I had gotten the three pies into the oven, I heard Christian coming downstairs. He walked up to me and I berkata "hey buddy; I've got to pick out your clothes for the day!" I turned the TV on in the living room and went upstairs to get his clothes while he watched cartoons.
I came back downstairs and helped him get dressed into his little Thanksgiving hari outfit. It was a pair of dril, khaki pants, white socks, and a long sleeve white T-shirt, and a sweater vest with a checkered pattern of brown and orange. I combed his hair because I want him to look good when everybody came over.
I only allowed Christian to eat small snacks because I didn't want him to lose his appetite oleh the time everyone arrived. When they got here, I invited them inside and we all hurried to set the meja because they were really hungry. I helped Christian get up into his booster kursi and sat down in the chair selanjutnya to him. I berkata "I guess I'll say grace as fast as possible because I know we all want to eat. A lot has changed in these past couple of months for me and I never thought I would be in this position; but I don't regret it one bit because I cinta my son so much. I'm so thankful that God brought Christian into my life because I can't even imagine what my life would be like without him; amen."
I started to fill Christian’s plate with food and Latoya berkata "that was really sweet Michael! I have to say that you're an amazing father!" Jackie berkata "yeah Mike; she's right! You're a great dad!" I looked at Christian and asked "do anda think they're right?" He berkata "you're the best daddy in the whole world!" I hugged him and berkata "you're the best son in the whole Christian!"
All of us went into the living room to eat dessert and we sat on the floor. Christian is addicted to Oreo kue, cookie and that's his favorit food; so I made an Oreo cookie flavored pie. The menit he started to eat his piece of pie, I could tell that he was going to make a huge mess. I took the plate from him and berkata "here; let daddy feed anda because I don't want anda to make a mess buddy!" Janet berkata "you must be excited celebrate natal with him Michael! anda and him get to celebrate your first natal together! Do anda have any plans for natal Michael?" I berkata "I don't really know what I'm going to do yet; but it's kind of irritating that it doesn't snow here in LA! Christian won't get to experience a white Christmas!" She suggested "why don't anda take Christian to Canada and rent one of those fancy log cabins; that way there will be snow on the ground when he wakes up on natal morning?" I berkata "actually; that doesn't sound like a bad idea!" Jermaine looked at Christian and asked "what do anda want for natal Christian?" He quietly whispered "clothes." All of us were completely baffled oleh his response and I asked "you really want clothes for Christmas? I can afford to buy anda anything anda ever want for a toy; but anda want clothes?" He berkata "I like clothes daddy" and Randy berkata "I definitely wasn't expecting to hear him say that! What three-year-old wants clothes for Christmas? My kids just throw any clothes they get behind them and pindah on to something else!" He joked "can I swap kids with anda Mike?" I laughed and berkata "sorry; he's here to stay!" Christian berkata "kiss daddy" and I puckered my lips as he leaned in to ciuman me. Rebbie berkata "he's seriously the cutest thing ever Michael!" Christian sat in my lap and I asked "Christian; who is your best friend?" He pointed up at me and Marlon asked "you cinta your daddy; don't anda Christian?" He whispered "yeah; I'm daddy's boy!" I berkata "and I cinta my buddy so much!"
***
I really like the idea of renting a kabin in Canada for a few days and I am going to rent one after all. I was upstairs getting Christian ready to take a nap when I berkata "okay buddy; I'm going to go shopping for your natal presents and Tim is going to watch anda while I'm gone!" I turned the TV on and walked out of the room.
My other bodyguard James took me to a department store that was closed just so I could go shopping for the day. I bought so many clothes for Christian that it filled up three shopping carts. After I had gotten a bunch of clothes, I went to the toy section to buy him some fun things. At the back of the store, I saw a huge 300 piece train meja with tracks and Christian has recently developed an interest in "Thomas the Tank Engine"; so I knew he would cinta this.
This wasn't just any train table, it's a $1500 train meja with pretty much every character that is on the "Thomas the Tank Engine" TV tampil and I think the cashier at the store was shocked that I was actually going to spend that much money on one item. I ended up spending $15,000 on all of Christian's natal presents; but it'll be well worth it when I see his face on natal morning when he sees all his presents!
***
My bodyguards James and Tim pulled up in front of a huge kabin that I had rented in the Canadian countryside. Christian I got out of the car and I berkata "have a good holiday anda guys; we'll see anda when anda come to pick us up in three days!" James berkata "we already had someone drop off all the gifts anda bought and they are in one of the spare bedrooms waiting for anda to membungkus, bungkus them Michael!" I berkata "okay guys; thanks for all the help! Say hello to your families for me!" They both berkata "we will Michael; have a good Christmas!" I quickly grabbed the cardboard box from the back kursi with all the cookie baking ingredients inside it and waved goodbye to them as they pull out of the driveway.
I carried Christian inside with one hand as I carried the cardboard box with the other. I turned on the light with my elbow because both my hands are full and put the box on the nearby counter. It was way past Christian’s bedtime oleh the time we got to the cabin; so I carried him upstairs to get him ready for bed.
I found a room that was perfect for Christian to sleep in because it had a TV and a big tempat tidur that I think would be hard for him to roll out of in the middle of the night. I covered him up with the blankets and kissed his forehead after I turned the TV on. I don't even think he will be awake long enough to even watch one episode of cartoons.
I walked down the hall and found the room where all the presents were. That's when I realized how many presents I had actually bought because this entire room was covered with stuff. I walked into the room and sat down on the small luar angkasa of the tempat tidur that wasn't covered with anything. In one corner of the room, I noticed over 30 rolls I'm wrapping paper and a bucket full of rolls of tape. I whispered to myself "this is going to take forever to membungkus, bungkus all of this stuff! Why did I wanted do this all of this on my own?" I must've spent most of the night wrapping gifts and when they had all been wrapped I counted about 250 presents. I know what you're thinking; I'm crazy!"
***
I was downstairs cooking daging babi asap, bacon and eggs for breakfast when Christian walked down the stairs of the cabin. He walked up to me and I picked him up as I berkata "good morning buddy! Are anda ready to have fun today?" He asked "what are we going to do today daddy?" I berkata "well, before we do anything we're going to eat breakfast. Then we're going to go outside to play in the snow and go sledding. We're going to decorate the natal pohon and bake kue, cookie to leave out for Santa Claus. Then we're going to go get ready for tempat tidur because tonight's natal Eve and anda have to be asleep for Santa Claus to come."
After we were done eating breakfast, I berkata "okay; let's get anda ready to go play in the snow!" I went to the closet and grabbed everything we needed. I began to get him dressed in his snowsuit, jacket, gloves, hat, and boots. I looked up at the clock on the dinding and realized that it had taken me 45 menit to get him ready to go outside. I asked "are anda ready to go outside now?" He asked "daddy?" I responded "yeah?" He berkata "I have to go potty." I covered my face of my hands and asked "are anda serious? Do anda really have to go?" He nodded his head yes and I couldn't help but laugh at how much time I had just wasted getting him ready to play in the snow; just to have him tell me that he needed to go to the bathroom before we even made it out the door.
Afterwards, we finally made it outside and it didn't look to me like Christian had ever seen snow before. He wouldn't let go of my hand and I berkata "it's okay buddy; it's just snow! It isn't going to hurt you!" He started freaking out and berkata "my boot is stuck in the snow daddy!!! I can't move; help!!!" I berkata "okay; how about we try something with a little less walking involved?" I climbed onto the sled and put him on my lap. We slid down a huge bukit, hill and thank God I was on the sled with Christian because I had to swerve out of the way so we wouldn't hit a tree. Christian thought hal naik eretan, tobogganing was the best thing in the world after that and I must've carried him up that bukit, hill over 30 times; so we could slide back down!
I brought Christian back inside and fed him some lunch before I put him down for a nap. While he was sleeping, I started to set things up so we could make cookies. An jam later, he woke up from his nap and came downstairs. I picked him up and berkata "okay; are anda ready to make some kue, cookie for Santa?" The kue, cookie were already in the oven because I knew Christian was far too young to actually help me make the cookies; so it's better just to have him decorate the cookies.
When they came out of the oven, I let them cool down for a few minutes; so they were still warm but not warm enough to burn Christian. I passed Christian a cookie and he put SO MUCH frosting on those kue, cookie that it was overflowing off the sides. I had to stop him because if I didn't there wouldn't have been enough frosting for the other cookies. After the kue, cookie were decorated, I asked "do anda want to lick the spoon that I used to make the cookie dough with?" He smiled and I passed in the spoon as he walked off into the living room.
I followed after him with boxes of decorations and sat down on the floor. The smell of the pine needles from the natal pohon filled the entire living room as I started to put ornaments and lights on the tree. I made sure to not buy any glass decorations because I wanted Christian to be able to help me decorate the tree. Once that it was decorated, I passed Christian the bintang and put him on my shoulders. I berkata "go ahead; put the bintang on the puncak, atas of the pohon pal!" Even though he was on my shoulders, he was just barely able to reach high enough to put the bintang up there!
I took Christian off of my shoulders and noticed that it was starting to get dark; so I berkata "let me switch on the lights on the tree." I think that's when Christian really got excited and I berkata "okay; let's go eat some macaroni and cheese!"
After he was done eating, we went through his typical bedtime routine and he climbed into tempat tidur afterwards. I lie down selanjutnya to him and read him "the night before Christmas." I kissed his forehead and berkata "sleep well buddy! Don't go downstairs until I tell anda it's okay! anda have to go right to sleep after the tampil is over because if anda don't Santa Claus won't come." He berkata "okay daddy; I will! I cinta you" I shut off the light and berkata "I cinta anda more" as I shut the door.
I waited about an jam and a half and went to check on Christian to make sure that he was sleeping before I started to bring things downstairs. It took me about 50 trips up and down the stairs to bring everything into the living room. The final trip was for the train meja that I still needed to put together. I tried my best not to make noise as I pushed the gigantic box down the stairs.
I dumped the contents of the box onto the floor as gently as I could; but it still made a racket. I was so worried that that woke Christian up; so I ran upstairs to double check on him again. Once I realized that he was asleep for the rest of the night, I went back downstairs and lay down on my stomach. I opened up the instructions and started to flip through the pages as I berkata to myself "Spanish, French, Japanese, German; where the hell is the English version of these instructions?" I found them at the very end of the manual; but that just confused me. It took me from 9 o'clock at night to 3 o'clock in the morning to put together that train table! The box berkata "some assembly required" when actually it should have read "all assembly required!” I had to set up the tracks, built the meja itself, and put the trees in the area they were assigned to going oleh the number written on the train table. I'm just glad that I built this thing because I was worried that I wasn't going to be able to figure out how to do it; I'm not a very handy person at all and I'm surprised that I figured out how to put this train meja together all on my own!
***
I heard "daddy, daddy, wake up daddy" as I felt Christian jumping on my chest. I opened up my eyes slightly and groaned in pain as I berkata "okay; okay I'm up!" I rubbed my eyes and looked over at the alarm clock as I noticed it was only just barely 7 AM. I got out of tempat tidur and chased after Christian as he ran to the puncak, atas of the stairs. I berkata "wait for daddy Christian! Don't go downstairs yet because I want to take pictures.
I grabbed my camera as I followed behind Christian and berkata "okay; let's see if Santa Claus came last night" his mouth dropped wide open as he walked in so living room and I snapped pictures with the camera. I knelt down selanjutnya to Christian and chuckled as I whispered "what is that Christian?" He berkata "choo-choo train!" He walked over to the train meja and I knelt down selanjutnya to him again as I pointed to one of the trains. I quietly asked "who is that Christian?" He looked at it and berkata "Thomas!" I gasped and berkata "wow; Santa Claus must know that anda like Thomas the Tank Engine!"
I grabbed the empty plate of kue, cookie and berkata "wow; he ate all your kue, cookie buddy!" He didn't even look up from the train meja and that's when I realized it probably would've been a better idea to cover that up with a blanket and have him open it at the very end because I think I lost him.
I sat down on the floor and berkata "come here Christian; look at all these presents anda have to open?" He whispered "no; I play with my choo-choo train daddy!" I berkata "you can play with your choo-choo train later buddy; look at all these presents that daddy spent hours wrapping!" I started to tear open one of the presents and that caught his attention because he took the present out of my hands. Once he realized that there were toys and clothes underneath the wrapping paper, he was unstoppable. He ripped through everything like a tornado and before I knew it, the entire living room floor of the kabin was covered with stuff.
Once everything had been opened, Christian started to come up to me and was asking me for help taking things out of the packaging. I berkata "I'll open this for anda but I want a hug first." He gave me a hug and lightly pecked my lips and I berkata "thank you; did anda have a good first natal with me?" He berkata "yeah daddy; but how did Santa Claus get that big train meja down the chimney?" I berkata "I don't know; Santa is just magical like that I guess!!!”
