Excited and Exhausted for Christmas

Let me preface this with some background information.  Tate is a great sleeper, always has been.  However, Tate will not sleep just anywhere.  There are two places he will sleep; the car and his bed.  He has fallen asleep in front of a movie exactly one time.  And believe me, there are plenty of times when he SHOULD HAVE fallen asleep.  So, you could say I was more than a little surprised when I went upstairs to investigate why it had gotten so quiet, and I found Coy playing quietly with books and Tate doing this . . .

I guess the excitement of circling all the things in the catalog that he wants Santa to bring for him was too exhausting.  For the record, this was not the first time he had been through the catalog.  It is almost a daily occurrance, lasting upwards of 2 hours.  He will just sit, going through the book page by page, randomly showing me things he wants.  We have been trying to prepare him for the grim fact that just because he circled it in the catalog, doesn't mean he is getting it.  Christmas day might be a tough one. . .
