Christmas Decorating

So last week, I finally got my tree up. Brady decided to help me decorate instead of taking a nap. How thoughtful of him! He didn't want to miss out on the action I guess. So as soon as I got the tree up, he was laying under it having a great time.

Then, when the tree was all up and decorated, I found him one morning giving his tiger a lick of an icicle. Aren't his little Christmas pajamas appropriate for this picture?

He's actually spent more time trying to take things off than he did helping me put them on but I guess that's what they all do right?

So yesterday I went to Walmart to pick up a few things and I needed a storage box to put some of my bigger Thanksgiving/Halloween decorations in to finally get those put away. So I found this box and put it standing up (just like it is below) in the back of the cart. Brady immediately wants to sit in the basket of the cart rather than sit up in the front where he should. So being the shopper that I am, and wanting to buy myself some more time in the store, I put him back there. He gets right into the box and shuts the doors. The box part is clear so I could see him just fine. He was laughing and knocking on the side of the box. I was getting some very strange looks from people wondering what I was doing with a toddler shut up in a box in my cart, but my plan worked. Brady played in that box for another 1/2 hour and I got all my shopping done that I needed. And since I did not have my camera with me at Walmart, I took a picture of him playing in it once we got home. And I must also mention, it kept him busy for most of the day closing himself in and popping out!
