I would have stayed home as punishment, but she wouldn't have known what she was missing, so the only punishment would have been for me because I had been looking forward to this outing. tantrum before we even left regarding the snowman and her entire bedtime entourage riding along in the van (see previous post). I should have had a clue when she threw a 15 min. Unfortunately, Emily displayed some of her worst behavior in a long time. She didn't let go of it for most of the rest of the day.

:o) Emily's favorite part was definitely the purple helium balloon she got to take home. It was a fun time with simple activities, good food and no gifts.

Wendell Hunt turns 2 this weekend and his brave mom decided to host a party that included Wendell and four other 2-year-old girls plus moms (none of the boys could come). o)Įmily was invited to and attended her first friend birthday today.

Tomorrow (Monday) is "P-Day" so Emily & I could both use a little prayer. Now that the holidays and travels are finished, we're going to be buckling down in the potty-training department. I'm thinking the latter is the more probable outcome, so except for a few books (which usually end up in bed with her anyway) the bins remain empty for now. I can't decide if actually filling the bins with things would discourage her from removing them all or would just create a colossal mess as she dumped everything in a pile. Every time we've put her to bed we can hear clunking and clanging, and when we go into her room the bins are all off the shelves and stacked inside one another. Apparently, Emily thinks that was a toy, too. The last picture of the slide show was of the new storage bin shelf we got for her room. It's not exactly the most romantic thing to spend gift money on, but it was desperately needed!Įmily has had lots fun playing with her new toys and reading her new books. We are also ecstatic to have a working vacuum cleaner once again and to have the dog hair back under control. It might even inspire me to walk/exercise more once the weather gets nicer and the streets are clear. make) the time/energy to sit down and read a lot of books lately, so now maybe I can enjoy some while doing other things-like taking down Christmas decorations. Only 27 more hours to go! :o) I can't seem to find (i.e.

I am almost 6 hours into "Anna Karenina" by Leo Tolstoy, which I uploaded to my new MP3 player using a free library service. o) Emily has already shed some tears as we establish a firm "no-touching" rule. Austin's favorite so far is the under-cabinet radio/CD player for the kitchen, which has now reduced the "counter clutter" to a single Kleenex box. I also left her Little People nativity set out because she has had a lot of fun playing with it the last couple days (although she's still calling the baby "Baby Moses" instead of "Baby Jesus").Īustin & I have really been enjoying some of our gifts. I left the winter/snowman decorations out because almost all of them are out of Emily's reach. The tinsel garland went straight into the trash. The final tally on the glass bulb ornaments was 7 shattered and 3 MIA.

Emily broke 3 and lost 1 of the Jesse tree ornaments. I started with the Jesse Tree and the big tree this afternoon.

I have never before been so eager to start taking down Christmas decorations (even though they've only been up for 27 days).
