It was lucky for Rose and me that Justin was working very
close to Ikea on Monday. Thanks to Pinterest, I saw an idea for using Ikea
spice racks for book shelves. Justin and Rose assembled them (and after Rose
used them as animal pens) she and Justin installed them in her book nook. I
think it turned out amazingly cute and Rose loves arranging the books in her
library…or just taking them all out and having mommy arrange them ;)
SOOO Santa…what we have decided to tell Rose is pretty
simple: Santa is a person who reminds us to be kind to each other and one way
of being kind is to give gifts to people we love and who help us. That’s it. We
tell her that people give gifts to each other and have involved her in the
process of picking out gifts and wrapping them to give. (She also needed no
assistance in making sure we knew which gifts she would like!)
Tuesday parents were allowed to come into dance class for a
special Christmas show. It was great to see all Rose has learned over the last
few months and she seemed to be having a good time. She was also Miss Meghan’s
little buddy J
(this little girl was in the front row on the opposite side of the room when the dance started...but she worked her way back to be right next to Miss Meghan)
Wednesday was a really fun day. Rose started off by sleeping
until almost 8:30am, which is late for her, then we headed out to her riding
lesson, a quick stop at Dunkin Donuts, a park, and then off to grandma’s and
work! Whew!
Thursday’s was a PJ and reorganizing day! Sometimes the mood
just hits to rearrange and Thursday morning was that day…Rose very kindly let
me move around a bunch of her toy items (mostly taking her larger toys from the
first floor to the second floor, it’s times like this I wish we had bought the
ranch style home…). Anyway I think it worked out well and downstairs, while
Rose’s stuff is still in every room, seems to feel less cluttered.
We usually end the week pretty happy and this Friday was
also lots of fun. Rose and I played lots in the playroom, she wore some fun
antlers, and she LOVED the penguin slippers that nana got me as a gag gift
(because I have hinted many times that I would like some new slippers for
Christmas…).
Rose has decided to 'keep mommy's slippers'. Apparently one is the mommy and the other the baby penguin. She also hugs and kisses them...too much cuteness!!!
Saturday our yearly ornament arrived, I don't know how any ornament could be cuter!
Justin and Rose had dinner with his parents and Rose enjoyed a very large snowman cupcake.
Sunday Rose was all ready for 'Mommy-Daddy-Rose Day' and since Rose has a runny nose we decided on an inside activity: bowling!
