December 4

It was a Daddy and Daughter Day today which included seeing the trains at NorthPark Mall.

(I was working today.) T told me tonight that Bug kept climbing onto her tricycle today with her "purse" and saying, "I'm going to work."

December 3

Bug loves her Little People Nativity Set that T surprised her with tonight. We talked about all of their names and the real meaning of Christmas. I loved how the 3 Wise Men were a very diverse trio with one being from China.

I think her favorites were the angel on top and baby Jesus, of course.

We only lost him one time. :)

December 2

Dinner at Scotty P's and shopping at Target! Bug was sooooo good and even let me try some jeans on her. We totally need an 18 month waisted jean with a 2T length....T said to get a big safety pin instead. Ha

Oh, and we stopped by to see Coco too!

December Daily

We decorated our Christmas tree tonight while wearing jammies and watching Christmas shows. We also practiced saying Christmas which is evidently a pretty hard word for a 2 year old. She was successful at hanging a few ornaments...until she found the stockings.

Bug wanted to wear those stockings like socks and proceeded to climb in and out of them the rest of our evening.

Fun, fun!

Let's Share

I was very excited to see Chick-fil-A's holiday milkshake, you know the one with chocolate chips and peppermint. It's the best milkshake, ever! But I'm not willing to waste my sodium on drinks....except today when I shared a few sips with my favorite girl.

At 33 Months

*Some of her new favorite phrases are "very, very good" and "much better." We still hear a lot of "no way" and we continue to try to teach her to say "help please" instead.

*After putting her into bed, she's gotten up and played with her toys a few nights during the past month. On one of those nights, we could hear the guitar playing and then some loud screaming "no way, no way." The guitar strap had wrapped around her little neck and really scared her and us!

*Rabbit continues to go everywhere with Buggy. I'm afraid Santa might have his feelings hurt when she prefers the silly rabbit over her new American Girl Bitty Baby doll that he is bringing.

*Bug's learning to count to 15 now and she can recognize all of her shapes. I love it when she yells octagon!

*We see a lot of pretend play where she's acting out something. For example, the other day when she jumped out of the car she held her hand out and "opened the door, walked through, and then closed the door."

*She still weighs 26-ish pounds, size 5 shoe, and size 3 diaper. Clothes are a mix of 24 months to 2T. I'm finding sizing is not as consistent as it is in baby clothing. I really need to get this girl measured!

Happy Thanksgiving

I'm thankful for no empty seats at the dinner table today. We enjoyed a wonderful day with family and friends.

Huggles,
