The Anderson Family: Pre-party bugs

Pre-party bugs

Holly was sick yesterday so I stayed home with her. David and I both feel a little sick too, but it's more like a sore throat, whereas Holly threw up before we even left the house and other stuff. Holly is feeling better today though, she made it in to daycare without incident. She was a little fussy this morning but I think she just wanted to stay home because she got to yesterday, she probably likes having the run of the place. I'm really hoping there isn't anymore sickness because her birthday party is this Saturday and I'm actually having a significant number of people showing up and that's rare for me. We went to Sable's birthday party last Saturday and Holly did alright. She was able to eat her lunch plus a little cake and ice cream. It's too bad the weather's been so cold because Holly really liked the blowing of bubbles on the front porch at Sable's and was upset when we brought her back inside. She cheered up when she discovered that Sable's room had toys, then she didn't want leave Sable's room.

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).
