Miss Fabulous

Brilliant...When I fix something for MF she exclaims, "Brilliant!"



She and I do pre-school time every morning for about an hour. We have been working on her grip on the pencil and I told her that writing will be just a little bit easier when she can master the grip. Now she wants everything to be "just a little bit easier."



"I must have a straw."



She is learning money has value and that without money she cannot buy toys and candy. I've been working with her trying to teach her the value of a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter. So far, not so good. She just wants the "paper stuff."


She wants to wear headbands all the time because, "Its just like Hairspray!" We don't even own that movie.


She has started asking for "going to sleep music" at night.


She is constantly complimenting people. I LOVE this quality. I wish I was better at complimenting others. I almost feel like I have to work hard just to get a compliment out and harder still to accept compliments. I never get enough of hearing MF's little voice saying, "Wow! I love your hair/shirt/pants/shoes/makeup/etc!"


Miss Fabulous gave John and I her 2 blue candies that she got at church because blue is our favorite color (and it is). Awwww...

The List

This is an incomplete list of the things I'm trying to do before December 15. I know I'm missing a few things but you get the idea. I wish I had more time, but at the same time, I know I would just waste it and end up doing everything at the last minute anyway. So here's at least a partial list of things I need to do or make: 1. matching pajama pants for my girls and their cousins. 2. 4 more bags and 2 more purses. 3. smallish blankets and pillows for my girls' baby dolls and/or stuffed animals. 4. turn 2 sweaters into Christmas dresses for my girls 5. Christmas shop for John 6. gifts/goodies for neighbors and friends 7. decorate for Christmas 8. 2 tutus 9. Christmas cards? or wait until after the baby is born and send an update with an announcement? 10. finish getting the girls' room in order and looking cute 11. organize the basement and purge the STUFF #10 doesn't necessarily have to be done before the 15 th but I'd like to just get it DONE already. ...

Nearly 5 weeks...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
