Happy New Year!

Just wanted to point out a new blog that I've added. It's my 101 things to do in 1001 days. It's my version of a New Year's Resolution.

Can you believe it's been 10 years since all that Y2K hysteria??? LOL

Announcement

Henceforth, Little Sister will be referred to as Sweet Pea. That is all.

It's a Christmas Miracle

Three days late.

Yesterday, Little Sister took a nap...by herself...in her bed...for over 2 hours.

We're still singing Christmas songs...

Mini Me is still wishing me a Happy Birthday (my birthday was almost 4 months ago), so it seems perfectly normal that we will be singing Christmas songs until the Fourth of July.



Here are some pics & video from Christmas. Sorry for the blurry pics, my attention was more on the action than the photography.

Santa and his reindeer ate the cookies & milk we left. Oh, and carrots too.

Back to Belly

Little Sister rolled from her back to her belly for the first time. Uh oh! We're in trouble now!

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!

Merry Christmas everybody! Hope Santa brings you everything you wished for and more.

We have entered the world of knock knock jokes. Well, a 3 year olds version, anyway...

My favorite from yesterday:

Knock Knock

Who's there?

Tomato

Tomato who?

A tomato is something you eat

Grocery store

Grocery store who?

A place to buy food


These make no sense, but I was laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes. She tries so hard....

Visit with Santa: Part 2

After last weeks attempt, my new strategy was to be there early, so that we were near the front of the line. But, that also meant that I would be taking the girls by myself.

Not a big deal as I routinely take them places alone.

So, we get ready. I dress the girls in their coordinating Christmas-y clothes and we head out. We make a quick stop at the mall to pick up an ornament. That's when I noticed Mini Me standing funny. I paid for the ornament and as we started to walk away, I checked Mini Me's pants. Sure enough, they were wet. Her first accident. And, really weird since earlier that day, we had been at Target and she told me she had to go and was fine.

OK. So, we ran home, I fed Little Sister, got Mini Me cleaned up and put her in jeans since I could also change LS into jeans with their Christmas-y tops and they'd still match and be festive. I asked Mini Me AGAIN if she had to pee, then we left.

We got to the store and I asked Mini Me again if she had to pee. No.

We get in line. We were 5th in line. 2 minutes before Santa arrives and no more than 2 minutes after the last time I ask her about going pee, I again notice Mini Me standing still. Are you kidding me???? Yup, she had wet her pants AGAIN! 2 accidents in 2 hours. And, this from a kid who almost never has accidents (unless its attention seeking while she's in time out...but that's a whole other post).

So, I took her to the bathroom and the ONLY dry bottoms were a pair of pink leggings we had in the bag from her tumbling class. They looked ridiculous with her red & white top. So, I put her jacket back on her. Of course, Little Sister was screaming the whole time we were in the bathroom because she HATES her infant seat...

By the time we got back to Santa, the line was long. We waited and finally got a picture. So, yes, there is a reason that one kid is dressed and the other isn't. I thought about taking them back again to get a better picture, but I don't think I will. Something tells me that this year, we just aren't meant to have a good picture. But, hey...at least neither kid is screaming and it was free. Gotta love Bass Pro Shops!

Here it is:

A Christmas Elf...

...puked on my kid.

You'd better not pout...
