We began our day on the Cape. Andrew and Eva played while Allison and I helped out and got ready to head home. I still had to sleep for work and the kids had a playdate. We left pretty early and got home to find Fitzy there waiting for us. Our Elf on the Shelf had returned to delight the kids for the next month.
I’m glad that we packed Fitzy in a place that was easy for us to get at it and that we have a babysitter, house watcher who was able to find him and put him out. Eva was so excited to see Fitzy. We’ll have to get creative for places that Fitzy will land.
We were at the Cape house for Thanksgiving today. Got down last night and had a good sleep until Andrew woke up around 5 something. We had a nice morning. Andrew learned not to touch the fireplace. We have been very good about telling him that it is hot and not to touch the fireplace. It is a gas fireplace with a glass front and in the morning it was going pretty good so it had some very pretty blue and red and orange flames. Andrew must have been intrigued because he headed over to it with his finger outstretched. We told him firmly that it was hot and No do not touch.
But, he touched it anyways. He’s testing his limits lately.
And, he learned what hot really meant. His finger touched the glass for a second and he knew hot. You could see it in his face, he knew that he shouldn’t have done that. He was fine, no burn or anything but he gave the fireplace a very wide berth the rest of the day. Continue reading Happy Thanksgiving 2013→
