Work and Play

Kevin hung the lights

Calia made scary faces

and gave Nolan toys.

Nolan and I hung out,

while Kevin and Calia set up the train

(and Kevin carefully explained to Calia that the train was not a toy,
and how he earned the money to buy it (paper route) as a boy,
and exactly where the people on the train should be placed.)

It all started so nice...

Happy boy, flirting with mommy

Here comes trouble.

This is Nolan's "leave me alone, I was happy by myself" look.

And, when you pull on him to hard, he falls over.

So, Calia climbs out from underneath him and leaves him there.

Nice!

The meltdown

That speck in the distance would be Calia, running and screaming about needing to look "down here" to find a tree, when we had already found the one we wanted.

So mad.

The 5th Annual Christmas Tree cut down.

Calia, Daddy and Coda

Nolan and Mommy

So serious!

Cutting it down.

Amazing!

Dressed and ready to go get our tree.

Sunday night...don't worry..he bounces back quickly.

Nolan after finishing a whole stage 2 jar of food for dinner!

And mastering the sippy cup!

While Nolan was eating, Calia took off all her clothes,

wrapped herself in her blankie and ran through the house...

Apparently, she was going streaking.

Last Tuesday, Nolan..with his 103.7 temp, a right ear infection and a tooth cutting through...not his usual happy self.

The Diva Fashionista...or so she thinks!

When Calia woke from her nap, last week, she was upset that the arms on her dress shrunk...really it is size 24 months and the sleeves have been 3/4 length for months. She needed to take it off immediately, but refused to take the tights off, and wanted to wear this turtle neck with tights...no pants or skirt. Oh and don't forget the boots, always have to have the boots.
