Well this is the first year in my history that I have completed no Christmas shopping/preparations just a week before the big day! Unfortunately work has sapped all my energy and time over the last few months and time has just continued to fly by despite my pleas for it to slow down and let me catch up! I'm also "as big as a house" according to a coworker and friend...lol, so it's harder to get around, that's for sure. Despite being slow and tired all the time, I'm really looking forward to the Christmas break and spending time with my family. I am enjoying our last few weeks as a family of 3 before the new little bundle arrives and with him/her...chaos! ;)
Annika sat on Santa's lap this year and did fantastic. Last year's visit to Santa resulted in tears and terror...but this year she was waving excitedly as he entered the room and went right up there and sat with him. When asked what she wants for Christmas, she replied with confidence, "I want presents". So there you have it, she's a material girl already, at the tender age of 2. Just kidding! It's cute...we're enjoying her so much. She's a precious gift to us, and we're so happy to see there have been some improvements in the temper tantrums that have been frequenting our home as of late.
Next week is her last week at the dayhome before staying home with Mommy full time. I think she'll miss her little friends and especially her care provider...she's so good with Annika. But on to a new stage...now little Annika can be my helper with the new baby (I'll let you know how that goes!)
I hope you are all looking forward to some rest and some time with your loved ones. I know I am...if I'm not on here before the big day, Merry Christmas all!
