New Year - New Tooth - Same Park

Happy New Year! This morning, after going out for a pancake breakfast, we headed to the park. Lucky us, Tommy, Eli and Austin were also there. So we all played around, drew with chalk, shot some hoops, and rode bikes.

Unfortunately Chloe has been a bit fussy these past few days. But today it all became clear - she has a new top tooth. New Year = New Tooth! 4 teeth down, many more to come!

My Little Reindeer



Today Sophia's preschool class had a Christmas Show for the parents. They sang the usual Christmas songs, jingled some bells, and danced a little bit. My very favorite was the 5 Little Reindeer performance. Similar to the 5 Little Monkeys jumping on the bed, this song is about 5 Little Reindeer jumping in the snow. Well, the two very best reindeer (of course) were Sophia and Eli!




After the show the kids were given a goodie bag with lots of baked treats and candy canes. While Chloe enjoyed a gingerbread cookie, Sophia and Eli enjoyed their candy canes.

Passing Time

Usually while Sophia is in speech class, Chloe and I take a walk around the school campus. But today was too cold for that. Instead Chloe passed the time dumping the contents of my purse onto the floor. She found it so funny that at times I was worried that her squeals and laughter would distract the kids from their studies!

Play Ball!

If I am so lucky to get the girls to nap at the same time, usually Chloe wakes up 1/2hour earlier than Sophia. I struggle to keep Chloe entertained and more importantly quiet so Sophia can keep sleeping. I sit Chloe on the floor and bring out a basket of toys and we play. On Friday I rolled a few balls to her, and she rolled them back! I think we found a new fun nap-time game.

Chloe's First Ear Infection

I wish I had a cute picture for this post...but Chloe hasn't been in a happy mood lately. Chloe has had an off-and-on 100+ fever for a few days. I took her to the doctor, and found out she has an ear infection and a probably a viral infection (not sure what it is though) too. At first Chloe really wasn't feeling well and only wanted to cuddle and sleep. Today she's feeling better and being more fussy. Bummer.

Book Worm

Every morning Sophia asks me "What are we going to do after nap". This question drives me nutty because it seems that no matter what I say, she's not happy with it (probably because she's tired and ready for her nap at that moment). But, lately if I suggest going to the library, she's excited.

We went to the library yesterday and not only did she pick out her own books, but she also checked them out with her own library card. She picked out "I Love My New Toy" and "The Princess and the Pizza."

It's a bonus for Seth and I too, new books to read. Now I just have to remember when they are due.
