I want to remember Dylan's constant singing of Christmas carol after Christmas carol...
I want to remember that despite getting a bunch of cool new toys, Dylan was happy to do this...
(He's dancing, if you don't recognize that signature move).
and this...
I want to remember his excitement about helping us decorate the tree...
I want to remember Dylan simply asking us for markers, and Santa for paper.
I want to remember us playing our traditional Christmas game, where you can steal a present off someone at the end, and how Dylan was eyeing "Mi-Ma"'s big bag of M&Ms until it was finally his turn. When he stole them off her, and she pretended to cry, and he reached up to pull her hands away from her face, saying "It's okay. I'll take something else".
I want to remember the innocence and joy of Dylan at 4, and now, thanks to this post, I will.

I love this post.
What a great Christmas boy :D He seems so sweet!
...and he's writing! What a star, no wonder he wanted markers, he's clearly putting them to good use...
And make sure you back up your blog completely. one of my favorite bloggers lost all of her posts when someone hacked her blog!
Just keep the posts saved somewhere because this is so cute!
Ahhh, I've missed you my friend (mind if I call you that?). And your lovely posts. I have much to catch up on, but this post was a great one to start with. And I say Amen to it! :)
Oh I love love love this post. I might steal it.
