You heard me - WE! Yes, WE. As the author of this blog, I get to make claims like this one! ;)
Back to that craft store we discovered. I'm proving more and more what a jackpot of a find that was. Also, who knew felt was such a versatile crafting product? It's bright, easy to work with, and naturally sticky! What more can you ask for in a baby-friendly A&C activity?
So - I made the tree itself weeks ago. But you can't unveil a Christmas tree without any decorations! I got around to making those today and Nory and I had a blast turning our Charlie Brown tree into a work of art this afternoon. Ugh.......it should be said that although I am the author of this blog, and although I can say whatever I please, I SHOULD TELL YOU that she will be much more of a help when it comes to deconstructing this sucker. Check it out:
I suppose that since we are taking the honest approach here, I should fully disclose how this mommy-daughter activity went down. It ain't pretty...
There we were. Having a ball and laughing at how tasty each decoration truly was. I was putting the decorations up. She was taking them down. We had a system. It was perfect.
Then, in the middle of our fun, Nory started to SMELL. We're talking all CAPS, people. So, to the change table we went! It didn't take me long to realize that this wasn't your average diaper change. IT. WAS. EVERYWHERE. Then I realized it had even gotten onto the backside of the onesie. (Side note: why do these things always happen when Phil is out of the house?). Whatever. I start to take the onesie off and realize that it would be impossible to remove it without getting it everywhere else. So - I whip it off, wipe off her back, shoulders, and neck, and then race to the bathroom to start a bath. Well, wouldn't you know it - while I am filling up the bathtub, Nory pees ALL OVER ME. Yep, it soaks right through my Paris hoodie, the t-shirt underneath, and all over my fleece pants. AMAZING. At this point, I simply could not stop laughing. Shani arrived to clean the house and remarked, "oh she is having an early bath tonight!" HA!!!!! Then I laughed even harder.
I wonder what parenting adventure tomorrow will bring :) But as I like to say, "ANOTHER ROOM, ANOTHER CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!"
