Charlie has been saying "one, two, three" for a while now. At some point in the last couple weeks, he dropped one. It's just two, three, GO! Today, he learned four. But lost two. He just keeps saying "treeee, toor"
We were counting fingers. His, mine, and Toby's. It is very exciting that we all have the same number! But I'm not sure how he missed "five" or lost "two".
Christmas jammie faction. My family does christmas on christmas eve and I found out today that tomorrows party is from 5-8 and that's kind of late. So I got a bit down about it because that doesn't give us time when we get home to do our tradtions. We read the birth of Christ from Luke and we open our Christmas jammies and prepare our cookies for santa. So looks like tomorrow will be a late night because I'm not willing to give up our family tradition.
I'm having dd wear her jammies home from MILs on Christmas eve this year but next year I'm making sure we plan time for our own stuff. I'm sure your DD will be too amped up to go to bed right when you get home anyways
They both will. @-) I just hope they don't fall asleep in the car on the way home because then it will be worse. We'll blast the music in the car. I can't WAIT to see them in their jammies. I love DDs.
@sparkymcgeee That's exactly why I'm so glad we stuck to our guns about staying home for Christmas this year. I don't want to give up any of our traditions, and we're not. We're even starting some new ones!
I think instead of cookies Luke is going to leave Santa pretzels and bacon

This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.

I asked the short gut group if any of them leave out a non-sugary alternative.
One of the moms from Scotland said, "Well the treats aren't for the kids, now are they? We leave carrots for the reindeer, and Santa gets a wee whisky."

@mrshudson618 The counting is so cute. At least C has them in order. Addie says "eww, igh" for "two, five".
Sorry for your loss @casey78
How many packages of disposable wipes should I take on an 11 day trip? I don't want to have to buy there, because they will be more expensive.
I would take two just to be sure. But I get the huge fat packages from Target.
Oh and this is the first year without DH's grandpa, who passed away a few months ago. MIL was on the phone with DH and says "your grandma is having a hard time" and DH said MIL teared up too. DH proceeds to be a douchecanoe and says "Why are they still grieving, it's been 3 months? This is ridiculous." I think my jaw literally dropped from that statement and I told him he's being ridiculous. I just hope he can keep those sentiments to himself on Christmas and not get short-tempered with his mom. Ugggg.
X_X @ilovemyducks21 your H needs to give his family a huge break. This is the second Xmas without my dad & it's still painful.
Ay carumba...
This makes 9 years without my grandpa and we all still tear up.

DH if you want me to go with you to a Christmas party your friends are throwing it's your responsibility to 1) find a sitter and 2) get details about the party.
@Carrie3102 I didn't know you could close and still reside in the house. That would have saved me a lot of stress at the double closing a month ago.
Yep they aren't moving in it's going to become a rental. They put in their offer they said they wanted to close in 22 days take possession 20 days later.
Ranch, dill and lemon pretzels in the oven and then Haddy and I are making macadamia cookies. If I'm really feeling adventurous I might make a pie tonight, too. Or, that might just happen tomorrow.

Ha, edited before you quoted because I'm quick like a cat
@juliedave151 Haddock has been awfully whiney as well. I've been holding him for what seems like the entire day (as usual) and my arms are tired and he's still not happy, lol.
