Sleeping Beauty, Foofa, Ella - December 2009

I decided to ask my nursery leaders to put my real name on my drawing last Sunday as evidenced below. Also pictured is what happened when mom was at young women's tonight. Keira likes to be tucked in nice and tight. Snug as a bug in front of the TV.

Carousel and the Seattle Center train/village - December 2009





Ready set go! - Pics from Nov 2009

Well, it's official. "Set...Go!" is no longer and is now called "Ready...Set...Go!" I taught it to Keira this evening. Also this evening, I suggested that mom and I both put our imaginary babies to sleep for bed on the top of the slide in my room:) And Prince Phillip sleeps on the floor lately so he will protect the babies and me tonight. And I didn't want mom to go after she tuked me in so I called her back because "I didn't say my personal prayers yet." I can't believe she forgot.

Last week I impressed mom as I read most all of the words to Sleeping Beauty and The Little Mermaid from my Disney book. Mom said she was proud of me and that she loved me and I said "I love you too." Mom was pretty tickled I think because that's the first time I've said it without being prompted.

Keira's favorite thing to do lately is "circle." Mom holds her and spins her around in a circle. And her favorite book to read before bed each night is "I am Not Sleepy and I Will Not go to Bed!" I've also made a couple of long distance calls to Japan lately on Skype with Erica. I showed her my Bella Dancerella moves.

I had a great thanksgiving as evidenced by the pictures below. Keira frequently blurts out Abbey and Finley's names since visiting her cousins. Or maybe it's Ailee and Finley...it's hard to tell sometimes. But now I'm excited for Christmas to come. I am learning more about it now in my old age. I thought that making a paper chain was super fun and use it to countdown to Christmas. I got to go to the carousel at the Seattle Center last Monday with Keira, dad, mom, grandpa, and grandma Bonnie. It was really cold but I loved it. I also got to make the train stop and go at the mini village in the Seattle center. But I'm still learning about Christmas. Dad pointed this fact out on Sunday when we sang "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" in church and I said 'hey, that's from Charlie Brown Christmas!'
