Yesterday was filled with fun for Gaetano and me. We went to a Christmas party for the community we live in and Gaetano sat in Santa's lap as if he'd known the guy forever. He sat there for a good 5 minutes leaning on him and if I didn't pick him up he'd probably fall asleep in Santa's arms! He looked so cozy :-)
Kicking and screaming I tore him away from the party. (Santa left already; I'm not a meanie.) We went to the mall and Gaetano started fussing being in his stroller so I took a chance and decided I'd see if he'd behave walking with me. He did really good! So we're in Godiva and Gaetano is organizing their boxes of chocolates as I'm picking things out. We leave and do about an hour's more of shopping. When we come upon an empty bench Gaetano decided it was time to go sit. I was tired too so I sat down with him. Just then I notice a strange box shoved between the diaper bag and the seat of the stroller. Gaetano put a $36 box of chocolates in the stroller! Of course I took it back and explained to him that he can't help mommy shop and should ask before putting things in the stroller. I just hope he understood and this is not a foreshadowing of any kind!

I'm in for some long days... My mom won't be babysitting Gaetano as much now because he's become too much for her to handle. Generally he's a really good kid, but he's at that age where kids get stubborn and refuse to let you dress them (especially pajamas) or change their diaper. I can't blame mom, because I know it drives me crazy when he acts like that too.
I'm going to try to take advantage of the time he'll be home with me to break him of these bad fits and get him potty trained. I think that will help quite a bit. Unfortunately this means I won't be getting as much work done :-(. Good thing I am done with the book :-) I sure hope this phase doesn't last too long!
