There is a legitimate countdown happening in our house. Every morning, the kids ask how many days until Christmas. Today, they remembered on their own. There are 28 more days until Christmas. And thats great, but also terrifying. There is SO much to do in those four weeks!
I’m close to being done Christmas shopping, and most of the rest is just waiting for this weekend when there should be a bunch of sales. The only thing that has thrown me for a loop is the book I had chosen to buy for Waverly. Here’s the thing. Its brand new, and I saw it would be available mid-October. Fine, that was reasonable. When mid-October rolled around, only the paperback and hardcover version became available. I JUST learned that the board book version isn’t coming around until June OF 2021!!!! Not even next year! The next next year! I’m ticked, and while Wavy is pretty good with books nowadays, I’d so much rather give her a book that was a little tougher, so she could haul it around and turn the pages easier on her own. What book would you choose for her, friends? The BEST book for an almost 1.5 year old girl.
I’m still working on some homemade gifts but they’re coming along! I feel optimistic!
I need to kick the sickness currently in our home as soon as possible. And keep anyone else from contracting it. Laela is home again today. She fevered last night, so I decided to keep her and let her body heal today, even if she’s not actually sick anymore. I know the public school division has a guideline where they’re asked to keep kids home until they’ve been fever-free for 24 hours. Our division doesn’t have that guideline, but I think its really smart. So she’s home, lounging on the couch, reading books all day long. She’s happy, and her body is resting. So I’m happy.
My baby just woke up, so I’m going to go retrieve her and get her breakfast going. I was suspicious yesterday that she was getting a bit sick, so wish her luck! 🤞 We need to stay healthy
