Christmas Stocking

With a couple of tiny presents thrown in.

Today is bateleur's birthday. Because yesterday's cake was a moderate success, it's going to get ten glittery candles (he didn't want thirty-two) for this evening. Ryan and Bea were disappointed to learn that they aren't getting cake until after then.

Today is also the day I decided to try and start Beatrice on potty training with the aim of getting her dry over Christmas. So far, it isn't working. She's not even mentioning action in that area to me. Never mind, plenty of time left.
