testing his limits

Alex loves looking at the Christmas tree and all the presents underneath it. He's really into presents right now- opening them and seeing what's inside. This should make his 2nd birthday fun. Anyhow, he has already opened one of the presents that we got in the mail from my parents. Luckily, it was for me and Chris. I quickly re-wrapped it since Chris doesn't know what it is yet. This taught me that I need to keep an eye on Alex when he's around stuff because I don't want him opening anymore. So lately, he keeps walking by the tree and touching all the presents, saying "omen, omen." That's how he says "open." And I remind him that we have to wait xnumber of days before he opens any. Ahhh... life with a toddler.
