Dear McKenna,
Your first Christmas is quickly approaching and we’re excited to see you join in on the excitement with your brother.
- You got the flu this past month and were not exactly please when I put you in a cool bath when your fever got over 104. Needless to say the week wasn’t very restful for either of us.
- You’re very contemplative when your big brother is being naughty - which is fairly often these days...
- You do NOT like when mommy steps away from you
- You can: grab food and bring it to your mouth, reach and pull on things you want, play in your activity chair, sit (assisted), and do planks/push-ups better than your mommy
- You love: Juno, when mama helps you jump on your bed, looking in the mirror, peek-a-boo, reading books together, and when Jase comes in and greets you during school pick-up
Your holiday therapy includes:
- We fish-hooked you... because you were choking and we wanted you to be able to breathe
- Mommy stopped sleeping in the chair in your room after you were done being sick
- I put you in a pricey bouncer... because you like jumping
Our holiday therapy list is pretty long too...
- You have occasional ninja poops... it isn’t apparent you’ve pooped but then I change you and (of course) am short on wipes...
- You had a poop that still gives your daddy night terrors - it was bad enough he called me for moral support while i was driving into work
- You had a blowout at daddy’s hunting place... a place where there is no running water... outfit trashed.
- You peed all over me and the towel I had your wrapped in... wrapped because I had just gotten you out of the bath
This month feels like it’s gone by exceptionally fast and before we know it you’ll be grown up. But for now, you can be “baby sister”.
We love you so,
Mommy and Daddy
