God Gave Us Christmas


This has QUICKLY become Addison's favorite book.  I am so happy about that. 
I'm not sure what it is about the book that intrigues her so much.  Usually she is impatient when I try to read to her.  But with this one, even though it is long for her age and has paper pages rather than being a board book, she LOVES IT!  She sits through the whole book while we rock and read every day at nap and again at bed time.  She chatters and points to the pics of baby cub and mama cub as they talk about how God gave us Christmas and that Santa is a reminder of things like generosity and kindness - but that we should remember that it is God that gave us the day!  

I'm so glad I started reading this to her.  Even at this age, she is soaking it in.  Every time she sees the picture of baby Jesus with Mary and Joseph, she points and says "whassat?" hehe.  So cute!

Addison, as it turns out, has a great imagination (either that or there is some television show or movie that she has watched recently that I have no idea about). Beginning last Friday we potty trained Addison (hallelujah for fast learners). She has done SO well and caught on in only a day! The funniest part of the whole thing though is how Addison has made up this whole scenario to help her with the pooping thing. I think it was either Sunday or Monday night that she was sitting on the potty going poop, and I was gathering the clothes for her to get dressed for bed. She started hollering, "Mom, Mom! There is a dinosaur!" "A dinosaur?" I replied enthusiastically! "Wow! Where is the dinosaur?" "It's in the potty! Look!!! Look!!" So I looked, and right as I was looking she looked too and then looked at me and said, "Well, actually it's a lizard." It was very matter of fact, and very Addisonesque with the sideways cock of...

Addison and I had a great visit to the Arboretum with Ashely and her kids Grayson and Presley. I think we did more picture taking than we did playing this time...but it was a fun day and the weather was beautiful! I am looking forward to going again soon!
