Christmas Trees

It’s the most wonderful time of year again! Christmas trees are popping up all over now, I’m sure this weekend will be a popular weekend for trees going up 🎄

When I was a little girl, I remember being out with my dad and playing ‘spot the Christmas tree’ where we had to find all the trees in houses and see who could find them first. I tried to play this with my son driving home last night but I couldn’t get him to play. It made me sad. I remember the excitement of Christmas when I was young and was so excited to experience this with my own child but his awareness is just not there. He loves to look at all the lights, so I was slowing the car down to let him enjoy them, but I couldn’t get him to engage with me to play. It could just be that he was enjoying looking out the windows and seeing lights. Maybe next year he will play with me. In the meantime, I will enjoy spending time with him looking at lights.

I’m trying to stop focusing on what he isn’t doing or can’t do, and focus on what he is doing. It’s hard when there is a whole world of fun out there I want to share with him, but we will take it a step at a time ♥️
