The Anderson Family: Funny Stuff

Funny Stuff

We just had a great weekend with Holly. She wasn't teething, or constipated or even experienced any 'terrible two' behavior. Holly let us sleep in on both Saturday and Sunday to 7:30am (and yes, that's sleeping in). David and I both got some yard work done. When I asked Holly on Saturday if she would like a sandwich she bolted off my lap and plunked herself down in her booster seat at the dining room table. Sandwich coming right up. We got all our errands done without any meltdowns or motion sickness. We got a couple movies in and a couple games in. The weather was perfect on Saturday so there was a walk to the park too. It was simply amazing. Holly really hates being rinsed at bathtime, suds no problem. So at bathtime, David managed to get her through it without fussiness. She was in such a good mood afterwards, she bent over upside down with her rear in the air and sang her ABC's just like she saw Big Bird and Elmo do on Sesame Street. I laughed really hard at that.

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).
