I woke up on Saturday expecting even more Christmas parties, but I think it’s finally over. We got ready to to Grandpa Droste’s brithday breakfast:
Tthen I went with Aunt Sarah to her friend Tyka’s house and played with her kids. We got back in time for lunch and then before I took my nap, Mom & Dad gave me especially big goodnight hugs. Hmm, I sensed something was up. Sure enough, when I got up they went on vacation. Well, I got the better deal, getting to be on vacation at Grandma’s and Grandpa’s!
I had a great day on Sunday. I napped from @2:15 until 4:30 p.m. and woke in a great mood. Grandma and Grandpa packed me up to see the Christmas lights in Rock Spring Park. All the way there, I sang with Grandpa Droste – which I can’t remember doing before! When we got there, it was closed due to inclement weather! Grandma was so sad! As an alternative, we checked out a few lights around Alton, then drove through Aunt Carol’s former subdivision – where every house on the street has lights. I loved the Santas and the reindeer (which I called “horses”). I even turned every nativity scenes in to a game, shouting “find Baby Jesus, find Baby Jesus”).
Here’s a dance break:
When we got home, Aunt Claire had cooked dinner and I ate voraciously – salmon, roasted cauliflower, sliced mushrooms, a tiny bit of lettuce, milk and a whole kiwi. This was even better than my usual Sunday dinners at home! Then we got ready for bed, brushed my teeth, and read The Big Girl Potty story. But I totally refused to sit on the potty.
I told Grandpa good night twice and then I ran to tell Aunt Claire goodnight, too. When I got to A/C I said I was hungry. When she asked what I wanted, I replied, “a cookie!” I don’t think Dad would be to happy! Then I got Baby Sophie and her blanket and made it into bed at 7:40.
I slept last night from 8:00 until 7:45 this morning. I was so sleepy (and my new PJs were wet, too!). Grandma made me oatmeal for breakfast. She put in apples and cranberries, vanilla and cinnamon. Yummy! We also cooked an “all-pice” egg, but we had a little accident. I dropped an egg and made big mess. But Grandma wasn’t upset, she just poured salt all over the yucky egg on the floor, then cleaned it up. We got another egg and started over. It was delicious! I ate a Clementine for dessert – and reminded Grandma to put my vitamins on it.
After breakfast we played with Legos, Play-doh, and a new sticker book Aunt Claire got for me. After that, Grandpa came in and played with me because Grandma had a very bad headache. We read stories, played with more Legos – and Grandpa even changed my poopy diaper – another first for Grandpa Droste. Again, I refused to sit on my potty today, but I still read my Ashley book a dozen times.
For lunch I ate leftover salmon and cauliflower, a little yogurt and some green grapes. We counted them, and I kept (accidentally) dropping them on the floor. I asked Grandma to “jeebah” the grapes for me, then I ate them all. My afternoon nap lasted from 1:00 until 3:30. Guess who got me out of bed? Aunt Claire and Rob! They are taking me with them to the airport to pick up Maddie. She hasn’t seen me since I was 9 months old – hopefully she’ll be amazed!
Grandma moved the picnic table into the kitchen, I helped Grandma make burgers for supper. We mixed ground turkey, refried black beans, onions, egg, crackers and garlic, cumin, parsley and black and cayenne peppers. I helped squish everything together and was very possessive about shaking in all of the “pices”. Grandma took a bunch of pictures…..then had to clean all of the spice containers, as they were covered in gooey turkey stuff. I had so much fun, though! I also wore my new cooking apron.
I ate a turkey burger, roasted butternut squash with basil and garlic and blueberries with yogurt – and drank a glass of milk. I didn’t want to ake my bath and really struggled with bathtime again tonight. I giggle a lot while drying off, though, because I wanted to be a Maggie burrito. That was fun! We read 2 stories – one of which I read to Grandpa. I was in bed by 7:50

Last year I ate my fanciest meal ever!
