Thanksgiving - we had a great Thanksgiving together. Everything was perfect except the Turkey! We woke up like normal, had pancakes, played, Papa bought Summer a bear and after her nap she spotted it immediately. She than began to hug and kiss on that new bear - it was really sweet. Oh and I am changing his name from Grandpa or Grampa to Papa because that is what Summer calls him, Papa. The food was good all except the Turkey, I don't know what was wrong with it but it was gross! Apparently there were a few bad birds this year so hopefully that is what happened and nothing I did. We thought it was funny and had a vegetarian meal all except the deviled eggs.
Things have been good at home. Summer is starting to say so many new words - like What the Scallops because daddy says that all the time. She is starting to say I love you :o) and will almost repeat any word I say. This past weekend I babysat another girl, Chloe who is 20 months and having both girls together helped me see how different three months can make, I couldn't believe some of the things Chloe was doing but I know Summer will be there soon. It was a nice day babysitting, I was glad to see how the two girls interacted and of course I took a thousand pictures (all on the flickr). I was worn out but it was not as hard as I thought it would be, maybe because Chloe was a good baby too and never cried or whined.
Two nights ago Kris, Cliff, Summer and I loaded in the car and went to the Magic Forest at Opportunity Village. It was a chilling 40 something degrees outside, but the lights were beautiful and Summer enjoyed looking at the neat decorations. We rode on the carousel and train and Summer got to slide down the fake slide. Afterwards we went to dinner at the Outback steakhouse where I had some really yummy salmon and chicken. Summer slept horrible that night for some reason, probably teeth, she is getting the last 4 of her teeth, her canines and whatever the bottom ones are called. She keeps putting her hands in her mouth and before I cut her nails she had little scratches around her mouth, poor thing. I hope she gets these 4 in and can be done with teeth for a while.
Oh and I forgot Saturday - we went to the dentist Saturday for cleanings and Summer came along. I had the dentist look in her mouth and everything seemed fine. While Kris was getting his teeth cleaned so was I, so I had Summer sit on my lap during the cleaning, she sat so good. Hopefully the experience was a positive one and one that will help when she has to be the one sitting in the chair!
After the dental appointment we went to see Santa at Walgreens. They had free Santa and pictures. We sat Summer on his lap and at first she looked suspicious then she got this look like she was about to lose it but she never did cry and the picture is priceless. I could not have been happier with the way it turned out.
