AK and I went to the fall supper at the church tonight. She wasn't too interested in being there... she pouted out that lower lip and said "mommy, i wanna GO HOME". She wouldn't eat supper, or drink much juice, but she enjoyed the chocolate decorations on her cake. It was a piece of cake, covered with pink icing, decorated with chocolate kisses. She wouldn't touch the icing so I had to pull the chocolate off the cake and lick the icing off so she could eat the chocolate.
AK was so happy to see Hunter tonight at the supper, she did a little happy dance as she ran towards him to say Hi!
I pulled out the Hallmark decoration with the dancing / singing snowman and dog singing Jingle Bells. She thinks that's pretty hilarious. She alternately sings along, dances or shakes her bum along to the music! I'll have to try to get some video of that.
Lots of kisses tonight, completely unprovoked or unrequested, AK gives the sweetest kisses ever.
I put the Christmas tree up tonight after AK went to bed, she will be surprised to see it in the morning. Can't wait to see her reaction.
As we were leaving the supper tonight, we ran into one of AK's teachers. I mentioned how AK was really enjoying playing with her "binoculars" that were made out of paper towel tubes and string. I guess the kids made them earlier this week and used them on an outdoors adventure today. The teacher also noted that AK had a sticker on her shirt for sitting quietly when asked and for singing a song to a teacher from another room. She is learning so much at school and doing so well. This week's artwork includes pictures of a turkey and a cornucopia of thanksgiving food.
The lentil soup turned out so well. If anyone has recipes using lentils, I'd love to hear them. I will try the soup with AK tomorrow but I have a feeling she'll love it as she likes other kinds of pulses, and I'd love to start cooking more with them.
ps - hope all you in MB are staying warm and safe... you've got snow! xo
