Bits and pieces

I walked in on N the other day, perched in her highchair right next to the kitchen counter, carefully licking the frosting off homemade pumpkin cookies.

I was able to talk my husband into purchasing a new Christmas tree. It's nine feet tall and it was kind of a pain to decorate, what with having to get up on a ladder to do the top and all. But it's super bright and absolutely beautiful. I love Christmas.

I totally enjoyed the new Disney movie Tangled. However, I felt rather stressed out about the actual length of her hair. I kept thinking, "She's going to trip over it... Other people are going to trip over it." I visibly relaxed when it got all braided up. I think that's a sign that I'm a bit too OCD.

An update on the "unknown quantity," otherwise known as T. He's doing rather well in school. Even more so than the older kids at this age, he comes home with all sorts of stories about what he's learned, which kid misbehaved, and the art projects he finished. It's been rather surprising, actually. One day, he came home with a little paper with his name written at the top and then, "I go to bed in the night." I keep it on my nightstand because I love it so much.

Lastly, lucky for little N, crayon comes off microfiber couches.
