The Anderson Family: Pre Holiday Lull

Pre Holiday Lull

There hasn't been much to report lately. We got all our flu shots last Tuesday. Actually Holiday opted for the nasal spray variety but the rest of us got injections. It was on Veteran's Day so we had a family day and after flu shots we went to the Arboretum. It was a beautiful, cold day so we took a lot of pictures. Then on Thursday Johnny had a fever so I stayed home with him. Nothing serious but he obviously wasn't 100%. Then later on in the day I realized I wasn't feeling so good and I had a low grade fever myself. So I guess it was good that I stayed home. Johnny and I went back to daycare/work the next day. It was a cold so I'm past most of the snottiness but Johnny is especially snotty right now. We went to a birthday party for my nephew Ayden and niece Sammie on Saturday. The kids always have fun playing at their house. So mostly we're doing day to day kinds of things, but the holidays are around the corner and I know things will get busy again soon so I'll enjoy the lull while we have it.

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).
