That baby is too cute!

We sure have been having strange weather here recently. The other night it was all yellow outside. It was dusk time and for some reason, the way the sun was reflecting, everything looked yellow. It was rather odd. Then Tuesday we broke a heat record! The record high was 69 degrees set in 1989. Tuesday it reached 71 degrees!

Courtney is so dang cute! Sunday she picked up a purse I had on the floor and put it over her arm, like any woman would, except the purse was dragging on the floor. She walked over to Hubby, kissed him and said, ‘bye-bye’ and waved as she walked away. Then she came up to me, gave me a kiss, and again said ‘bye-bye’ and walked toward the door to the garage waving the whole time. It was so cute! Brian and I were just about rolling on the floor.

Yesterday we were on the way home from daycare. Every time a car would pass us, she would say ‘car’ and then ‘bye-bye’ and would wave at the car as it would pass.

Today she very clearly said ‘Hokie’ for the first time. She has a stuffed Hokie bird in her crib, and a dog we call Radford. She all ready says Radford pretty good, but this morning she told us “hokie” too.

She also calls anything Elmo that she doesn’t know the name of. And she can spot Elmo from a mile away. We have a few Elmo ornaments on our tree now, and as soon as you start walking towards the tree she starts saying ‘Elmo’ and pointing at the tree.

Supposedly at day care the other day, one of the little boys, named John, hit her on the head with a block. She started crying and then said ‘dat John’ (that John).

She is scheduled to move up to the Toddler 1 class after the first of the year. I am still not super excited about this. With the help of her old daycare teacher, I looked at a few other daycares, but with the accreditation Kay recommends, we don’t have any other options nearby. And now with me being a student at the college, we get a discount. So, I guess we will try it out, and if I am really unhappy we will do something about it then.

Tonight, Maggie and Bristol were out in the yard playing. Apparently they got a little wild in their playing. Somehow Maggie ended up with a gash on her rear right hindquarter. Thankfully it was still early enough in the day that the vet was still open. So, off we went to the Vet. He said she would need a few staples. So, we left Maggie in their care while the 3 of us went and had some dinner. When we came back to get her, she was sedated, and 4 staples heavier. She pretty much has been a bowl of Jell-O since. She has been zoned out in the dog bed since we brought her home.

The forecast is predicting snow for the next 4 days on and off. It was getting cloudy tonight.

Well, I am cold, so I am going to go and climb in bed with my heating blanket.
