Charlotte and the Christmas Mat

Here's a quick video of Charlotte pointing out the characters on her dinner mat and also singing "Frosty Snowman, a happy soul!"

"No listen?"

Saturday night we went downtown to see the Duke trains and Fountain Square.  We went with the Lorenz family.  Andy & Howie went to the XU game afterwards and so Krista and I took our kids home and put them to bed by ourselves.  Stella fell asleep in the car and barely woke up for the transition to pjs and then to bed.  Charlotte stayed in the living room while I ran Stella upstairs and plopped her on her pillows.  When I came back down, here was our conversation:

Me - "Your turn Charlotte...time for jammies."
C - "Sissy??  Go with daddy?"
Me - "No, daddy's at the XU game.  Stella is already in bed."
C - "Sissy no listen to momma?"

So apparently Charlotte is definitely being sent to her room too often for getting in trouble if she's now relating "being in bed" to "being in trouble".  We may have to rethink our time-out location with her...but she's usually thrashing and kicking and putting her in her room behind the gate has been working.

Play-Doh

We got the play-doh out this weekend.  It's been quite awhile since Stella played with it and we've never gotten it out for Charlotte at home.  The girls had fun.  It was so fun to watch the developmental differences...Stella liked making the sun, snowmen, and pancakes.  Charlotte enjoyed putting the play-doh in and out of the containers.

 

Puzzle Queen

Stella LOVES puzzles.  She recently got her first 100-piece puzzle and still completed it on her own in about an hour.  I LOVE how these occupy her time in a great way!

YouTube

I kept having trouble uploading videos to the blog.  So I entered the world of YouTube as a user today.  I uploaded quite a few recent videos of the kids.  I backdated them on the blog...so look a few days back and ENJOY!
