The Anderson Family: The Usual Goings-On

The Usual Goings-On

Nothing really new to report this week, everybody is just doing their thing. The Seattle Boat Show is over so now David will have his weekends back. The kids did really good through it all which helped me out a great deal. This weekend is looking dry so maybe I'll have some time to poke around out there, maybe trim the butterfly bush or do some weeding. The crocus bulbs I planted in the fall are spouting and buds are showing up so that's exciting. I updated the sidebar of the blog to reflect the kids' current clothing sizes. Basically they're set for awhile, until the weather gets really warm or a growth spurt happens. We did watch Holiday's dance class last Saturday, she's improved a lot in a month...all the girls have. She seems better at ballet than tap, but David did point out that they started with ballet only for a couple weeks before they introduced tap. Holly does try hard at both. Johnny will be 9 months old tomorrow, his 9 month check up is this Monday.

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).
