We were home in Detroit for only a brief time in December, with me traveling for work, then heading to Atlanta for the holiday. Nick manages the long drive well with videos to entertain himself and games on the iPhone; at one point though, he asks, "Will there ever be a time when I can unsweat my butt?" (referring to removing himself from hours in the uncomfortable kid's seat.)
We made a stop in Cincinnati for a short Christmas evening, then spent Christmas morning in Atlanta. Nick was upset Santa would miss him and that he's been bad. Not so much, as he made out pretty well with gifts (although he's probably cashing in more from the Tooth Fairy). He received an electronic/remote Lego train set, which he tore apart moments after I finished building it, and connected the electronic motor to his own train. Grandmama built a Gnome.
I chuckle at the difference in personality of the boys. I ask, "Are you being good"? Seth simply says, "Yes," and generally ignores me. Thatcher cries out yes and runs to me for a hug of forgiveness, likely having done nothing wrong. And then there's Nick who says, "I'm trying, at least."
Most of the time was spent with the boys playing Minecraft, either on the xBox or their tablet devices. This is apparently the rage with all kids this age, and ours are certainly no exception.
Pictures from Nick's birthday are here, as we celebrated a little early.
