Ugh.<br /><br />Not thinking about Christmas yet....trying to think of what to do for Ruby's birthday which is only 8 days before. What to do, what to do! <br /><br />Glad the little ones are feeling better today :)Lauriehttp://www.laurieappleby.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-64631355316946100252012-08-16T11:38:56.598-06:002012-08-16T11:38:56.598-06:00I LOVE Christmas, and I'm stockpiling ideas no...I LOVE Christmas, and I'm stockpiling ideas now, but I won't start working on most of them until October or November, and I won't decorate until after American Thanksgiving. We might not even be here for Christmas. The only thing I've been working on (since before last Christmas actually) is felt stockings for my little ones. They turned out to be way more complicated than I expected. I'd like to finish them soon so I don't risk not getting them done in time again this year. I have that felt Christmas tree pinned, too, and I'm really excited about doing it! I never did find you on Pinterest ...<br /><br />I just wanted to say, don't jump on the bandwagon too early with potty training. My little ones have been telling me for a while either that they are about to poop, are in the process of pooping (which is usually obvious) or that they just pooped, but when we've tried to get them to use the potty, they don't really get it, even for peeing. We're just being encouraging but not pushy, and I'm waiting for them to be ready.sunflowerchildehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15209334933886664383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203689317346533866.post-58093300483258048572012-08-15T15:32:25.283-06:002012-08-15T15:32:25.283-06:00Woot! Potty training time! ;) On the great Christm...Woot! Potty training time! ;) On the great Christmas debate, I suppose it depends on what you mean by "thinking about Christmas." I start thinking about gifts and such early on so I can be prepared a little. BUT it is one of my biggest pet peeves to have decorations, music, etc for Christmas happening before December. Makes me want to punch people. LOL. I think the very earliest that it even might be acceptable is the day AFTER Thanksgiving. Before then it's just douchey. I think I feel that way about all holidays and seasons. Don't put up frilly pink hearts and crap in January. Don't put up fall decorations in summer. That's why it's called "seasonal" because it's supposed to align with the season or event. :) <br /><br />I am so very sorry to hear about your dad. That is heart breaking! And doubley so to be "right" about it again. Gah. Just awful. But I am glad that your mom has had the locks changed. Simply horrid. I'm so sorry.<br /><br />I would love to do that mirror thingy on my tree this year! I'm just afraid that my very inquisitive children would take to eating, breaking, or otherwise maiming themselves with the glass. LOL. Maybe I could use tinfoil taped/stapled over cardboard squares or something. Wouldn't reflect as much light but would be cheaper and safer??? Hmmm. I'll have to think about it. :)Cocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120459484825947654noreply@blogger.com
