Family Traditions...
I can remember on Christmas morning my sister and I would wake up extra early and run out to the living room to see what was under the tree. We couldn't wait to open our presents, so we would go in and wake up mom and dad so that we could get started. Unfortunately, my dad would take his time getting showered and dressed before coming out and letting us start tearing open paper. Luckily, my mom would fill our stockings with plenty of stuff to keep us occupied until dad came strolling out...
'Tis The Season...
Our favorite time of the year is here. We got our tree and decorations put up this evening. And we made the trip again this year to Hallmark to get J another ornament...
Dear Santa:
Mommy & Daddy said that if I was good throughout the year and if I send you a letter, I might be lucky enough to get something from you for Christmas. Well, I know I’ve gotten into a little bit of trouble throughout the year, but I’m pretty sure my cuteness makes up for that. Here are a few things that I have had my eye on this year in case you and your reindeer are in my neck of the woods on Xmas Eve.
-
Football Slippers (smallest size) – Daddy seems a little distracted on Sundays, so these might grab his attention. - Dinosaur Slippers (smallest size) – These even eyes that light up when I walk!
- Nightwear (18-24 months) – I love seeing mommy’s face when I get dressed up in a new pair of PJs. She gets so excited that it makes me laugh. Staying warm and cozy at night doesn’t hurt either.
- Clothes (18-24 months) – I can always use some new threads!
Taggies Football Blanket - There's just something about tags hanging off of things that I can't resist! I don't know if it's because I can't seem to figure out how to tear them off or because they are too fun to play with. But this blanket should quickly become my favorite!- Yookidoo Flow 'N' Fill Spout - I love bath time! This looks really cool and will keep me busy in the bath.
Spin Around- Now this looks like a blast! Daddy tells me that this is old school. But it still looks great none the less. And the internet says that it helps promote muscle growth and and coordination too!Fisher-Price Baseball - This should help me train for my big sports career that's coming up...Silly Sam the Talking Broom - I get so upset when Mommy and Daddy won't let me play with the broom when they are cleaning. It looks like so much fun! Well this will give me my own broom to play with. I might even pitch in and help clean once in a while...- Safety gate – I have gotten really good at climbing the stairs! I can fly up and down them really fast now. But Mommy and Daddy get nervous when I’m at the top. I keep telling them that I know what I’m doing, but they say they are still worried I’m going to fall down the stairs. This might finally get them to chill out a little.
- Gift cards – Mommy and Daddy are always taking me shopping. I’m sure they could find something to buy me with a gift card!
- Cash – What kid doesn’t like money? Mommy and Daddy opened a bank account for me and have been tucking some dinero away for me. They said I can’t use any of it until I get older though (bummer).
See you soon,
J
p.s. If the milk and cookies I am going to leave out for you are missing, it was probably Mommy...
Quack-Quack...
After lunch we went for a walk at Lake Eola. Daniela and J both got to feed some ducks & swans for the first time. I'm not sure who had more fun, Daniela or shug. She was bummed out because we didn't have enough bread, so I guess we're going back again next weekend...
Test Results Are In...
And we got an A++. We went the fool-proof way and just got a digital test that has zero room for error while trying to decipher the results. The small digital screen says it all. So it's official, we're going to have another Shug!
Chapter 2?
Daniela still isn't sure because one of the lines are faint so she wants another test. But the vertical line is the one that counts. So I say it's done!
Final Approach...
Saw this bib online today and thought it was hilarious. Working runway lights with airplane spoon. Had to have it so it's on the way...
The Summit...
It's official, J can now climb up and down from the couch, coffee table, and who knows where else all by himself unassisted. His evenings are spent pulling himself up, sliding down, then running a lap around the living room before climbing right back up again. I wonder how long before he learns how to jump off?
Art At The Park...
We went with Tiffany, Lexi and Eric this morning to an art festival at Lake Eola. The weather was awesome, 60ยบ and breezy! J even got to chase after some ducks. This time of year is great!

| Eric got distracted and stepped in a pile of dog crap! lol |
Family Trees...
I got bored this weekend so I decided to bust out the paint and draw a mural in J's room. Ok, I'm lying. They're just wall stickers. Found them while we were out this weekend and thought they looked cool. So home they came...
