Albie’s First Official Christmas

Well wrap me in bacon and call me a pig in a blanket - It's 10 days 'til Christmas!!

I'm super excited, can you tell?

Aside from from the normal things; the much anticipated Christmas dinner, the exchanging of presents, the round-the-clock tipples, the festive films and tv shows, there's one stand out reason why I am really looking forward to Christmas this year...

Albie can be part of it all.

I mean sure, he's still clueless as to what Christmas is, but he is able to join in  with the festivities regardless. So far he's enjoyed checking out all the sparkly lights and decs, bopping along to Christmas songs and sampling mince pies and gingerbread (he loves both - that's my boy). He's even had a special visit from Father Christmas at his nursery, where he got a little elf book and some bubbles for being a good boy.

For me, this is Albie's first official Christmas. Last year didn't count as he was just shy of 4 months - basically a very cute potato with arms and legs - and as much as he was there, he wasn't really part of the buzz. For Albie, Christmas day 2017 was a hazy one, fuelled by milk & naps. 

2018 will be the complete opposite. It will be lively, hectic and just wonderful. We are spending the day at home (our first Christmas at our house) so Albie will be the star of the show. I actually cannot wait.

Having Christmas at home also means we can work around his schedule so that he doesn't end up overtired or overstimulated. We can do what we need to do, when we need to do it to ensure he has the best day possible. And if he enjoys himself, we do too.

What are your plans this Christmas?

Until next time,
