We got to visit Santa at Bass Pro later that day. I was interested, but not so sure of him once Mommy let go of me! I stayed on his lap long enough to tell him that I wanted a "doggie" for Christmas! Afterwards, my new sentence was "Santa lap cheese". (The cheese was for the smile when getting my picture taken.)
We had a big Christmas party at Miss Bruna's too. There were so many good things to eat, we made ornaments for our parents, and Santa visited! We all got to sit on his lap and he gave me a really cute bear.
I like to play "football", but every sport with a ball is football to me. I really like playing basketball! I love playing games with my sister, and I always say "my toot" to let her know when it is my turn! I just really love my sister. I miss her when she is gone and she is the first person to get a hug from me. I say her name "I-E" all the time! I really hate when she is sad and/or crying. I have to go and give her a hug to make her feel better. I am also pretty good at making happy, sad, mad, and scared faces. No, my mom's not a counselor at all!
We had a couple of play dates, and on one of them, the bigger kids made blessing bags to give out to people who need something when we are driving. It feels good to help!
We did family pictures with Daddy's family one day and I did not like that at all! I cried the whole time! I ended up with a 102 degree fever later that day. Good thing I was better the next day. We celebrated Nana Arden's birthday at her house and ate Shakespeare's pizza! I love pizza! I played ball and ran around the house. It was a lot of fun until I accidentally broke a glass. I felt really bad about that.
I went potty in the potty chair again. I'm not sure I totally get it, but I was pretty excited when I heard the tinkle! And of course, the marshmallows helped!
I woke up in the middle of the night once because of a storm. Mommy came in and we snuggled. I learned all about "sunna" (thunder) in the sky and that it went "bye-bye". I sure was crabby the next day though! My new cold and fever may have had something to do with that though.
Other words I say "applesauce' (very well enunciated, because it is my favorite thing to eat besides "cheese"! I also say "wa-doo" (water), "mine" (I say this a lot!), "yucky" (this is also a new one with food, even if I like it), and I say "uk-oo" (thank you). I think this one is Mommy and Daddy's favorite!

My sister...my best friend
This is how I say "my turn"
Much more comfortable with my left hand!
