The weekend was another busy one! It
doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon. Lord help me. My Aunt and Uncle
are here from Newfoundland for a visit. They will be staying for 3 weeks – 2
weeks here and 1 week down south! We just saw them in the summer but its always
nice to see them again. This is my uncle who coincidently came for a visit the
day after Adriana was born. Almost 2
years later and she is just as excited to see him! All week she was asking
“where’s Boyd? Where’s Ursie?” On Friday morning I explained they were coming
and we would visit after daycare. She replied “Yayy Boyd!...and Ursie!” lol
After work I went to my mom’s house – the boyfriend picked up Adriana and we
were meeting there. Adriana must have been super excited because when the phone
rang she thought it was Boyd.
“Hello? Boyd?” she walked around saying.
Adriana was finally served her dish of Boyd
and Urs shortly thereafter. We do like to remind her of certain people who she
has met before. She builds this relationship with pictures, videos or stories
from us and when she sees them again, she’s not as shy to say HI! This has been
something we’ve done for a number of people already and it works like a charm!
She is more inclined to run over for a hug or even just say Hi (and their
name). We love that she is a “people person” although at times she is shy –
more cautious than anything.
Adriana is a very lucky girl! She was
blessed with a gift from a friend. A play kitchen! At her daycare there are
about 3 different play kitchens and I always find her playing with them when I
pick her up. I’ve been thinking of getting her one for a while but waiting for
Christmas or her Birthday. A friend was trying to get rid of one to make room
for another gift so I was ALL OVER THAT! Free? Don’t mind if I do! Adriana now
has the classic corner kitchen set from Fisher Price along with all the classic
accessories. She has the same Pots and pans as I had as a kid! Plus the classic
McDonald’s Happy Meal and Hot Cakes sets. She hasn’t even touched her other
toys – good time to purge and give to Goodwill!!
We only have a few swimming lessons left
and then Adriana will be on to the next one! We are thinking of continuing in
the new year so by summer she will be a full fledge swimmer! We are going to
get her a life jacket of her own to use at public pools, friend’s houses or the
cottage. We encourage her to love the water but she is wary of it which is
still good. Next year at this time, Adriana will most likely be starting
Preschool classes. Which means I won’t be in the pool with her J As much as I love it, she needs to learn to swim on her own. One
step at a time though.
This week is hopefully not as busy as the
others have been. I need to start catching up on my sleep! Exhausted doesn’t
even begin to explain how I feel! I am trying to get to bed early but it’s the
sleeping part that is difficult. I am into a new relaxing tea which helps me
sleep but I don’t always feel like a tea at night! The cold weather tends to
make that easier for me. I have tried Sleepy Time tea by Celeste and now I am
using the Tazo Zen tea K-cups! Love my Keurig :)
Christmas is on its way!! Less than 2
months to go people! Are you ready? Just kidding – still plenty of time for
shopping. My personal plan is to take advantage of Black Friday, which has
started to hit Canada. I hope more retailers participate in offering Canadians
the great deals offered in the States. Last year Best Buy had a GREAT sale
online and I will be watching out for it this year too. I figured if I could
get most of my shopping done that weekend – I’m golden.
I have started to put things aside for
Adriana (the kitchen set was a special gift). There is also a Wish List via
Toys R Us for her already started by me to give people ideas of what she may
need. Obviously clothes are a given so closer to the date I will list her sizes
for family. I’m excited for her second Christmas!! It gets better every year I
hear….
Look at me…talking about Christmas before
even mentioning Halloween!! It’s only a few days away now and Little Missy will
be……..
A BEE!!!
I got it this weekend and she saw the
package. Adriana started waving her hands in the air saying “Bee bee no bee go
away bee. Bee bee bee bee!” Lol Clearly she’s ready to be a Bee! I can’t wait.
We will probably just go to a few houses on our street as soon as we get home
from daycare. She will be too tired for anything more! As she gets older she
will do more houses – we have a great neighbourhood for Trick or Treating. It
will be great for her to show off her costume and get candy for the first time!
Last year she was a strawberry and sick! Hopefully that doesn’t happen again
this time so she can enjoy the time out.
