I spent the whole sleeping without my PJs on (thankfully Mom turned up the heat and kept covering me up all night). I got up at 6:10 and did some potty time before school — and right after peeing in a brand new fresh diaper. When we got to school, I didn’t want Mom to leave again; I kept using the “one more hug” trick, but eventually she left. I talked about Mom all day until our holiday party at 3:00!
Mom came over to join in the festivities. There was so much food! While everyone else was eating the cake, cheese, and crackers, I was going crazy on the fruit! I was also very thirsty. Then we had a book exchange and I got a really cool frog book.
Then Santa came and I was kind of scared until he offered me a lollipop and all was cool. I decorated a couple cookies (wow, cookie decorating is all the rage!), but wouldn’t share with Mom until the end! Then I decorated a picture frame and an ornament and handed out gifts.
We left around 5pm and drove home. We called Aunt Sarah and then hung up on a call to Grandma Droste and then Maggie-dialed a bunch of Mom’s random work colleague and hung up on them, too. Mom was surprised I wouldn’t give her the phone back!
I ate fish, carrots, and couscous for dinner and had blueberries for dessert. I talked to Sarah and Grandma Droste on the computer. Then I sat on my potty for a really long time. After a talk about not pooping in the bathtub, Mom tried to get me in, but I refused, so Mom resorted to a shower. I had very dry skin and was sore under my nose, luckily, I really love lotion.
By 7:45 I was very sleepy. We read one book, Mom talked about the value of keeping my my PJs on, and I went to bed.
Thursday moning was pretty uneventful. When I got to school, I said “Hi” to everyone and gave people really huge hugs (I think some people were terrified of me!). I also did really well playing with shape sorters.
I cried almost all he way home. When we got home, I had a total meltdown. I wanted to help unload the dishwasher, but couldn’t bring myself to actually do anytihng. Then I just started walking in circles in the living room — screaming and crying.
Friday I got up with Dad and we had our usual breakfast fun. When I got up from my nap, Grandpapa got me up and we had fun playing until Mom and Dad got home. Here we are having fun at dinner:
Last year I still had a big head!
