A look into our world

Another package came in the mail for Sullivan and me last week - it was a package from a long-time family friend, Ms. Ami! You see, Ms. Ami is a really good knitter, and when I was a baby, she knit me a special sweater and a blanket. Now that we have another baby in the family, Ms. Ami did the same for him. Only this time, she sent a few goodies in there for me, too. It's fun being the big brother! From our special box, I first pulled out a polar bear! He's so soft, and I love him.Next came matching sweaters for Sullivan and me!! We don't have a picture of Sullivan's sweater, but here I am with mine - and Sullivan's is exactly like it, just in his size. Don't worry, there will be pictures to come this season of us in our matching sweaters!Then came Sullivan's blanket, and it is the softest ever. As you can see in the picture below, Sullivan really likes it :) Ms. Ami is a special ed teacher, and you can tell she's a teacher by the card she made for Sullivan - stickers, pictures of him, cute drawings... all tied to the blanket in a wonderful satin ribon. I think Mommy liked all those details just as much as the actual gifts themselves! And last came a special book, just for me. It's called "Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?" I already have another book in the series - "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?", and I love it, so the Polar Bear book was an instant success. Thank you, Ms. Ami, so much for our wonderful gifts!! What a special treat, and we sure appreciate your thoughtfulness and all the time and energy you put into our special gifts. Side note: Yes, I am wearing big boy underwear!!! I think we've forgotten to mention the big news... no more diapers for me! When I went to Papa and M'laine's house last month, M'laine kick-started me into potty training. I was doing pretty well by the time I got home and we've continued ever since. I'm very good at telling Dad and Mom when I need to go potty, and I'm also getting good with my "aim." (Mommy says this is important.) I do love to wear my big boy underwear!

Another side note: Yes, that is a Christmas tree in the background of that first picture... we decorated for Christmas early this year! We always wait until after Thanksgiving like most other people, but this year since Thanksgiving is at the very end of November, and we'll be heading to Grandma Lou and Grandpa Jere's house for Christmas, we'd have only gotten to enjoy our decorations for a few weeks. Mommy was just too in the Christmas spirit this year to only get to enjoy them for a few weeks. So we threw all the rules in the trash and decided to do what we wanted! It's a Merry season in the Primm household :)
