Ahh...the holiday hoopla

We're back in full swing after days of holiday hoopla. It was so much fun this year, even though we chose to celebrate at home, rather than visit family, becuase my son finally understood that 1) it was okay to tear open the presents that were wrapped under the tree and 2) that he got to keep the gifts. It was so fun seeing how excited he was to own new toys - particularly his new Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal that he has yet to put down- but there was a part of me that wondered if I was already setting his expectations too high. Am I crazy to think that he social consciousness should start at age 2?
