January 2019

New Year's Day tram ride to play in the snow!  We went early and it was 9 degrees when we arrived.  That's a cold that you've never experienced before.  We didn't stay out long but we had a good time anyway.

Best New Year's Day quote:  "....since it's something I haven't done before yet my whole life this year."

January 2.  I am standing at my desk working when I see you run by me at top speed with a guitar in each hand.  I think you and Dad must have been practicing because about 10 minutes later you both came back and wowed me with a great performance.

Dance party!

You love your new ballet class and dance all the time anywhere we go.  You were so proud to be named Dancer of the Day.  Miss Lindsay says you are doing great.

Sunday Polo match.

Daddy picked you up from school one day and when you came in the house you were beaming with pride telling me that you had your first loose tooth.

And 11 days later, on January 19 it came out!  You had just gotten out of bed and tried to give it your first wiggle of the day and it came right out.  You squealed with delight and came running to show me.  You didn't like the blood so much, but you were so excited.

Tooth Fairy pouch.

You got a $2 bill for your first tooth.  I took you to Target and you picked out a jar of glitter and some unicorn erasers.

You are a creature of habit.  You like things to be consistent and predictable.  I can't blame you.  I'm the same way.

The funniest thing to me recently is your morning breakfast choice.  You eat a spoon of peanut butter dipped in flaxseeds, a bowl of Total, and a cup of hot chocolate.  Every day.  And I'm thrilled with your choices.  I don't even mind the hot chocolate since you're otherwise eating very healthy and you don't complain that I mix it up very weak on the chocolate.

Look who came to visit!

We surprised Grandma and Grandpa with tickets to see a live production of The Wizard of Oz.

It was a really good show, though you weren't a big fan of the witch or the wizard.  You did really like the munchkins though!

Mrs. Marron shared some pictures from school recently so some of these are a little older but still worth sharing.

Harvesting radishes from the garden.  This got you eating radishes really well for awhile, which I was thrilled about.

Ugly sweater day.

Pajama day.

Straw activities with your 2nd grade reading buddies.
