We slept until 7am on Saturday, both days this weekend, AK has popped right out of bed and she's been ready to face the day. No cuddles in bed with Mommy, to Mommy's chagrin!
AK likes the Christmas tree :) it took her a few minutes to gather up to the courage to go near it and check out the ornaments. Her favorite ornaments are an orange fish that looks like Nemo and an ice cream ornament that she picked out at the store. She also likes the lights and the Swarovski crystal snowflakes.
AK did very well at gymnastics. She is starting to anticipate things, and prepare herself to do the forward rolls and backward rolls with less instructions each time. She also tried some of the bar work this week! She usually goes right past it every time, but she did one particular exercise three times. High fives all around!
AK loves having a bath with me, she thinks it's pretty funny how the soap slips out of her hands and then she chases it around the tub until she finds it again. She helped me wash my hair, she did a great job sudsing up!
After gymnastics, we met up with Charmain to do a bit of shopping. Christmas is everwhere... seems like everyone is ready to get into the spirit already!
Sue invited us over for a BBQ, which was great. As you can see, AK and Kylie had some good fun in the swimming pool. There is a ledge they can stand on, that goes the length of the pool, so we were able to put them there to play to their hearts' content. They also played with bubbles and with chalk.
AK and I left the BBQ early to pick up the Babbs and go downtown to see the fireworks! We went to my work building, which is along the waterfront and has a balcony! It was a GREAT place to wait for fireworks, we had a great parking spot and didn't have to go anywhere near the crowds! Unfortunately the fireworks started very late and then lasted only a few minutes (probably because of the winds). They were still pretty fantastic though... as soon as they started up, AK said "mommy, GO HOME!". She didn't really seem to care for the fireworks and told me they were loud. Ah well, it was good fun and a great reason to stay up past bedtime!
We were up bright and early today, no sleeping in after a late night. We headed over to the Doghouse for breakfast with a friend before we headed off to church. Today, AK learned that "God always keeps his promises". I think she had a great time in childcare today. After church, I dropped AK at Hunter's for a nap-over (get it, nap-over, not sleep-over? Am I good or what? Ha) because Jess and I were going to Jenni for my birthday spa-to-go! Five of us got together for pedicures, champagne and good eats. What a great birthday treat :) my toes are very happy now!
AK and I headed home after that and just played and watched TV for the rest of the day. If there was one prevailing theme for the weekend, it was that AK didn't eat. She just didn't seem to have an appetite. She is fine otherwise, but even cheese didn't appeal to her today... she's had some milk but very little juice, and no interest in food. I know I shouldn't worry but of course I don't have someone to tell me not to worry...
The last picture is one of AK showing off her "binoculars". She is very proud of them and even hung them on the Christmas tree!!! xo
