Weekend Wrap-Up

Well, we had our first real toddler melt down tonight with toddler #2.  She was having fun poking a little fork into some play doh, but when it was time to start getting ready for bed, Chris told her it was time to be done.

She took it hard.  She immediately freaked out and started shrieking (hmmm...wonder where she learned that?).  Once I took the play-doh away, it was over: screaming, flailing, making quite a scene.  Unfortunately for her, her older sister has toughened us up and the only thing Chris and I could do was look at each other and giggle.  One-year-old tantrumers are SO nothing compared to four-year-old tantrumers.

It will be interesting to see if this as an isolated incident, or the start of a new phase. 

As for the weekend...

Saturday

*We spent the morning decorating the tree.


 *Then we went to a Christmas celebration at G-ma's church.  Callie did some crafts, we had lunch, and even got to meet some wisemen and shepherds.

*While Callie went to dance class, Maya was ADORABLE.

*Callie's attitude continued, though she had a couple of funny QOTDs.

Callie: (looking at the Swedish ornament) This is a weird ornament!
Me: It's Swedish!
Callie: It is made of sweets!?  I don't want to eat it!
----------------
Callie: (MAJOR ATTITUDE)
Me: (texting Chris about major attitude)
Callie: You're not texting Santa, are you?
Me: No, but thanks for the idea (continue texting)
----------------
Callie: I am NOT singing in the Christmas program at preschool.  Shouldn't grown-ups be the ones to do a program for kids?  They are bigger than kids are.
Me: But grown-ups love to watch little kids sing.  They think it is so cute.
Callie: NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO WATCH ME AT THE PROGRAM EXCEPT MAYA.

Sunday

*Maya continued her ridiculously cute behavior on Sunday morning.  This girl has been fawned over all weekend by strangers- at the Christmas party, at Lund's, etc.

*During naptime we decorated a gingerbread house. 

*Callie, Boom, Auntie Cat and I went to see a short production of "The Nutcracker," featuring Callie's (and my former) dance teacher, Connie. 

*We got our wreath put on the door, but that is about all the outdoor decorations our house will get.  Besides seeing our tree through the window, I guess.

And then there was wrestle time on Daddy.

As for our silly elves, Coo-Koo and Loony, they have been pretty creative this week.

Rappelling down the wall......stealing from the candy jar.......relaxing in Daddy's boots......sitting with the Mommy Juice

Playing Gigi's piano.....pointing out favorite princesses.......hanging on the lamp

Have a great week!
