James Curley's Christmas Party

Dex was excited to go to James Curley's annual Christmas party this weekend. He was thrilled to be the only child allowed at a grown up party!  He minded his manners (lots of "pleases" and "thank you's") and was very social. Anne Curley is a mosaic artist and Dexy loved seeking out all her art in the house - his favorite was the mosaic she created on the risers of the stairs. The middle-aged ladies fell in love with him and when he asked them if they wanted to join him "looking for more art" they were very impressed.  No matter where I went, I heard someone talking about the little boy showing everyone Anne's art. When Ben and I noticed Dexter at the food table with his chin resting on the chip bowl and his fingers playing with the chips, we knew it was time to call it a night. On the way home, we drove down Michigan Avenue and looked at the Christmas lights then Dex promptly fell asleep when we hit the expressway.
