Funny Stuff

Now Holiday has the ability to choose. We went to a toy store on Saturday and we held up two toys for her to look at. It was either the brown flat rat or the pink flat elephant (aka flatephant). Her eyes shifted between the two and rested on the flatephant with the biggest, happiest gummy smile you ever saw. :) I put the toys down and brought them back up for her to look at again with the same result. It was clear we had a winner and it was too cute. We call it pink baby now and she absolutely loves it. Occasionally she laughs, her daddy picked up on it last week. I didn't hear too good on the first time so I wasn't sure. I caught it later in the week and guess what? It's just how I laughed as a baby...or so I'm told. It's a gasping sort of laugh that usually scared the hell out of my parents because they thought I was choking. I'm willing to bet that it's going to freak someone out at some point. heehee

I'm going to have to ask Mommy and Daddy for input in toys for you, because I have no clue what's hot these days. Here in Kern County the economy is so poor thst the libraries are really cutting hours and personnel. Wasco Library will only be open two days a week (down from four).; July 16, 2009 at 9:18 AM

Johnny's Sizes

-Phasing out diapers and wearing undies
-Currently size 4T

-Need to check his shoe size, has one pair of tennis shoes, boots and flip flops.
-Has summer wardrobe set. He'll need pants, long-sleeve shirts, winter weight pajamas, and socks in the fall. Probably will need a coat since we didn't get one last year. Jacket seems to fit for now.
-Loves trains-trains-trains, legos, balls, blocks, cars, Thomas trains, stuffed animals, music toys and board books. Still very tactile. Loves to color and read books. Very into Elmo, Blue's Clues and Thomas the Train and generally tv shows with music involved. He likes to do a happy dance to music. Also loves to play outside when he can. Did I mention he really loves trains?

Holiday's Sizes

- Holly is size 5 or XS depending on where you shop. If getting leggings I recommend a size 6 since she tends to fill those out.
- Shoe size 11.5, has boots, 1 pair of dress shoes, tennis shoes, ballet slippers, flip flops, sandals and tap shoes. Last summer she got new shoes at the beginning of summer camp and by the time school started her feet grew a size. So shoe size to be revisited before she goes back to school.
- She has a jacket and all the summer wardrobe necessary. She has a couple pairs of jeans, short sleeved shirts and short sleeved dresses. She will need long sleeved dresses, leggings, undies, and socks. Will need to check if her coat will carry through the winter.
- I'm not picky about colors, but Holly is a girlie girl. She doesn't care for jumpers too much either or scratchy tulle skirts.
- Some of Holly's interests include but are not limited to: Sesame Street, Yo Gabba Gabba, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Mickey Mouse, Super Why, Blue's Clues and animals in general. She loves to color, puzzles, books, stickers, legos and toys she can generally play pretend with. Holly also enjoys simple craft projects like ink stamping, painting and gluing projects. She really enjoys playing outside too (but she has more than plenty when it comes to toys to play in the sandbox).
