So, one of the coolest things about being a big sister is that I’ve gotten so many “Congratulations on being a big sister” presents! I’ve gotten games, puzzles, clothes, and dolls. I’m really starting to like this whole big sister thing! I’m also really enjoying having Jack around. I like holding him, touching him, and swinging his swing really, really high.
On Monday I spent the day with Julie, as usual, and it was really fun to have both Mom and Dad around the house, even though they both really busy taking care of Jack and working.
On Tuesday I went back to school and told everyone at school about “my little baby” as I call Jack. It was really fun to tell everyone how little he is. The theme at school this week is animals who live where it is cold. My favorite are penguins and polar bears, of course. Dad was at work today, so Mom had to put me and Jack to bed all by herself. She looked exhausted!
Wednesday and Thursday were more fun days at school. Aunt Claire took me to school and Nana and Jiddo picked me up each day. When I got home, I practiced waddling like a cold penguin:
Friday was extra fun because I got to play with Aunt Claire in the morning and then I got to spend the afternoon at Nana’s house! She made yummy food with me and Jiddo joined in the fun playing, too. When Dad finally came to pick me up I didn’t want to leave.
On Saturday morning I woke up to see snow all over the yard and still falling from the sky! Dad and I made our usual trips to Dominick’s, Stanley’s, and Whole Foods. We also went to a fancy watch store, but I’m not quite sure why. When we got back home Dad let me run around in the yard make footprints in the snow. It was so fun, but since I wasn’t wearing snowpants, my clothes got all wet.
After I warmed up, I practiced playing teacher with Mommy and Daddy:
And then Mommy and I decorated Christmas cookies!
On Sunday, we celebrated Jiddo’s birthday with brunch at Al Hambra. It was really fun and really delicious. I sang him happy birthday three times and I especially loved (of course) helping him eat his cake! When we got home it was nap time, and when I got up I got to watch the end of the Bears game with Mom and Dad.
Last year was also Jiddo’s birthday!
