You are still our sweet little pumpkin who we fall more in love with every day. You have been learning soooo many new things, and we are excited to broaden the things you know by helping you explore, and exposing you to different activities. Again, I'm going to list the things you're up to right now:
You've become very interested in letters. As a reading specialist, I wouldn't have normally pursued teaching you letters at this age, but we have exposed you to them since you've shown such an interest. We certainly aren't pushing anything on you, just following your lead as we go with this. You say P for PopPop, D for Dada, N for Nana, and C for CoCo.
You now copy me when playing the, "Say_____," game. You ask me to say....It is so cute. You also say, "Who's that?" You then answer (PopPop, Nana, etc.).
Yup, you still love babies. You even try to help take care of Baby Lo by burping her, and telling her "It's ok," when she starts to cry.
You can also be a little bossy telling people to, "Sit!" when you want them to come sit next to you at the kitchen table, chair, couch, etc.
You LOVE the Christmas book by Little People. We started a tradition of introducing you to a new Christmas book every night from December 1-25. You love going and getting a book from under the tree and opening it to read each night. Your other favorite Christmas book this season has been one that contains the songs, "Up on the Housetop," & "Jolly Old St. Nicholas." You request it by saying, "Ho Ho."
Your favorite thing on my phone this month has been Sofia the First. You request it by calling it price (princess).
You're terrified of Santa this year. When we visited the Christmas train, we had to hold you and get in the picture with you. You have the most adorable pitiful face in the picture, but you did love the train, carousel, and pony rides we did afterwards! We visited the train this year with Daddy, Nana, PopPop, and Uncle Cody.
Another tradition we started was Elf on the Shelf. You were introduced to him at our breakfast on December 1. The name you chose? Baby Elf. Well of course...haha! I'm not certain you 'get' it completely this year, but it has still been fun to search for him every morning. We also visited a live nativity which you loved! Your favorite thing was the petting zoo afterwards even though you thought standing five feet away and holding out the food was sufficient enough for feeding the animals. We could not get you away from the bunnies though! You kept saying, "Hop hop hop hop!"
You loved Rhema, and all of the lights! It was a lot of excitement seeing the twinkle in your eyes when we walked around with you. How fun this season is with a sweet little pumpkin!
You love muffins! Don't worry, I make the healthy ones...
You love to color, and sometimes spend as much as 30 minutes to an hour doing so which is remarkable to me, since you are seldom still for that long with one activity. You know black, yellow, red, pink, purple, blue, white, and green. You also recognize orange and brown, but we are still working on pronouncing them.
We cannot wait to see what this next month brings for you! We are so excited to see your face on Christmas morning. Something tells me Santa has been good to you. ; )
XOXO,
Mommy & Daddy
