Too Excited!!

As children the excitement we feel at Christmas is different than any other time.  The good food, fun music, great movies, playing with our family and knowing that Santa will visit our homes and bring us lots of goodies. 
All of this leads up to a very magical experience that none of us ever forget. 
For many families this also leads to little sleep.
I figured that Trent is still too young to let all of this affect him.  But, I think I was wrong.
Beginning on Christmas eve eve he didn't want to sleep!  But, he was in a great mood the entire time.  He wasn't fussy, he just wanted to play.  He wanted to be involved, it was like he was feeling the excitment and love that the season brought to our home.
He reminded me of that commercial were the little boy is soon going to Disney and he and his dad agree that they are "TOO EXCITED TO SLEEP!"
Finally on Christmas eve morning while Jake and I were getting ready to celebrate together with Trent I put him in his crib on his back to go and make him a bottle.  He was bright eyed and not too crabby, I thought just hungry.
So, I went to the kitchen to warm his bottle and not 30 seconds later he was quiet. 
I thought he was just looking at his adorable reindeer socks and calmly waiting, but when I returned a mere 3 minutes later, this is what I found......

Sound asleep.......

This made me realize two things,

1. He CAN sleep on his back.
2. I have been covering the wrong end!
