The next day, we put up the Christmas decorations. I really liked seeing all the ornaments and of course, wanted to hang them all by myself. Only one broke so far. I got to put up my own little tree in my room (which I always want to plug in by myself!) That night, our Elf Elmo came. It took me a while to really understand what this Christmas thing is all about, but Ellie is really excited about it, so it can't be that bad!
St. Nicholas came and left some stuff in my stocking! That was really cool and I got so excited about everything. I got a new Marshall (Paw Patrol) toothbrush and screamed out, "I'm so happy!"
I have had some yucky viruses this month. One afternoon, Mommy could tell I wasn't quite myself when she picked me up. I was really whiny and my eyes just didn't look right. Sure enough, I had 102.5 when I got home. That fever went away quickly, but a week and a half later, I had another fever. This one got up to 105.3 one night and it lasted 4 days. It didn't break very often, even on medicine. Nana Arden, Daddy, and Mommy took turns staying home with me. Daddy took me to the doctor (Dr. Prica wasn't available) and the strep and flu tests were negative. Mommy was worried about me and got another appointment, this time with Dr. Prica. By then, my fever was gone and I was given a clean bill of health. And now, I am working on a yucky head cold. Good thing I have a high pain tolerance, but this sick thing is for the birds!
Ellie talked Mommy and Daddy to going to the mall one night to hear the school choir sing. When we were there, we got to eat Subway, ride the carousel, and get balloon animals. How much fun! I also got to go to Ellie's school holiday concert. I enjoyed seeing all the kids, but it was about 15 minutes too long/late. I had a nice meltdown and I was screaming as Mommy carried me out. I don't know what she was so embarrassed about!
We had a crazy ice storm last Friday and Daddy came to get me early. I had to be woken up from my nap and it took hours to get home. I didn't even see Ellie and Mommy that night because they were stuck at school until really late. We stayed around home over the weekend because of the roads and cold temperature. We also all had a snow day on Monday!
Today, Nana Arden and Ellen came by to visit. Ellen brought presents for me and Ellie. She gave me a Super Girl tshirt. I was so excited and swung it around! I also got Starburst. I don't even know what that is, but I know it's gonna be good!
I am getting a little better at this potty training thing, with the exception of when I was sick. I usually have one accident a day on average. I do a lot better at school than at home. A lot of times, I tell Mommy I don't want to go and to just put a diaper on, even though I love my Dora underwear! I can almost always go when I am put on the potty chair, but I'm not always good at putting myself there!
We have had a few play dates this month and I like hanging out with Ellie and her friends, even if they don't like it as much. I really love putting puzzles together and can do the 25 piece puzzles by myself. I'm really proud of myself when I do. I am really into Rudoph lately too. I like to watch the movie, and also have the book read to me often. I haven't seen Charlie Brown's Christmas yet, but I did call his dog "Scoopy!" I want everything to be red because it is my favorite color. Ariel is even my favorite princess because of her red hair.
Night time snuggles!
