Well while all of you are anxiously awaiting your Christmas. Todd has already had his. On Dec 9th he "could not stand the excitement any longer". He opened nearly all of his Christmas gifts. My response....I didn't even bat an eye. Of course Todd would do that, these are the types of things Todd does. On the flip side he is my little snuggle bug, who tells me he will buy a house next door and live forever by me. He comes running out of Kindergarten each day with that huge Todd smile and says I love you mom at the top of his lungs accompanied by a gigantic hug. He is such a joy, with all the naughty days come so many fun moments. It could be that with four children you just forget what nice, unbroken things looked like. But really I just think it is more of a relazation that these moments will pass and in the end I still want my little boy to give me hugs and say I Love you Mom.
Todd enjoys school and playdates with friends. He loves the Magic School bus cartoon, jigsaw puzzles, and volcanoes. He can not use his bum to sit on a couch, and he is not aware that the bathroom in our house has a door on it that shuts.

There has been a tad bit of controversy over "Seth" telling the other kids that Santa is fake, etc. Seth told Todd yesterday..."If you celebrate Christmas, Jesus will destroy you". Todd's response. "No, you're wrong, I celebrated it last year and I am still here!" That's my Todd....always thinkin'
