Rooty toot toots and rummy tum tums.

On Christmas day.

Nandini had three different outfits on today.  {shanti claus in the morning for presents under the tree, princess dress from Nana and Nani for Christmas dinner and baby girl monkey romper for playtime before bed.}

Avinash wore his pajama shirt all day.

Avinash really surprised all of us with his restraint over the last few days.  We let him open one or two small things Friday and Saturday, but he also really wanted to give all of us our gifts.  He did the present handing out this year and told everyone, Happy Birthday!!  with each gift.  He even picked out special presents for everyone at Target the other day which he was so excited about handing out.  I love how much he wants to share his joy with us.  And he didn't even mind one bit helping Nandini unwrap all of her presents either.

We all got some really good stuff, but they both had more toys and presents under the tree than I ever imagined.  Maybe Santa did visit last night.  {NB: Anuj got me some amazing gifts.  He really is the sweetest guy ever, that must be where Nandini gets it from.}

Pretty much every toy ever advertised on the Hub, so Avinash was in heaven.

He wanted to open his playdoh dentist set first.  He loved it.  Making a tongue!!!!  And teeth, which you can then brush!!!! (not that he likes brushing his own teeth.)  Nandini of course loved it too because Avi was playing with it and because she loves to try and taste playdoh whenever she can.  After a little while I finally tried to distract her with her turtle reader.  Which then quickly became Avi's new favorite toy.  All day everything that they played, they played together.  We tried to put her to sleep a little early and she was not having it.  She wouldn't suck her thumb, she wouldn't nurse.  I brought her back down and she played happily for the next two hours, silly Mommy!

I love how active she is right now, playing and bonding with everyone.  It makes my heart so happy to see her content with everyone.  I guess I better remember that she does not want to miss out on any of the fun while she is sleeping either.
