The Anderson Family: TOO HOT!

TOO HOT!

Whew! To me, 80 degrees is too hot. 90+ is just obscene and hateful. Holly doesn't like it either, we've had a couple rough nights because of it. The good thing is that Holly seems to know that when she's in the crib that it's time to sleep, so just the evenings are touch and go. Mornings are when she's happiest. I'm starting to lean towards the idea of getting an AC for the living room in addition to the one we have in the bedroom. This morning our living room only cooled down to 81 degrees. We keep the bedroom door closed at night so the AC works pretty well on the bedroom and the nursery. So when we get up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, you get hit with the wall of heat. Holly will probably spend more time out of clothes and more baths to keep her cooled down. This morning we found that she had kicked off all her blankets during the night, happily sleeping in just diapies.

Jennifer J. said...: I agree with you completely. I don't like it when it gets much above 70, let alone 90+. Landon has spent much of the last week in just his skivies also. Good luck staying cool.; July 28, 2009 at 8:56 AM
gramlinda said...: I feel for you!! As hot as it gets here, I've never felt as uncomfortable as by the coast in over 80 degree weather. Must be the humidity. Cool down as best you can. Love, Grandma Linda; July 28, 2009 at 8:22 PM

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).
