More Holly Pictures

Holly likes to color.

She's got all sorts of crayons.

That's the pee bucket part of her new potty that she's wearing as a hat ...never been used of course.

Holly's funny expressions.

We just couldn't get her to stop doing it.

It was too much fun.

Let's see...pot roast, rice, corn and peas.

You can see what Holly likes to eat.

Jumping on the big bed.

Holiday's is gradually doing better with the whole daycare thing. Not as much crying. I'm starting to regain her affections. Not as clinging to Daddy. We have a ways to go yet. I'm getting used to working a full 40 hours a week again. It's been a long time, then I get home and am just mentally exhausted. Hopefully it won't take too much longer for me to adjust. Thinking that long and hard over the course of day kind of zaps the life out of you when you haven't done it for 2 1/2 years. Holly is getting better with her letters and numbers, so now we're trying to get colors and shapes in the mix. Nothing too complicated.

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).
