Dennis went to the pediatrician this morning after stating to us very plainly "I am sick, I need to go to the doctor to make me better." His ears are clear, thank goodness, but his throat was red and raw upon the doctor's examination, so now he's on an antibiotic (his second one of 2009--not too bad as the first was for a tick bite). He suffered through a haircut tonight and enjoyed the bath afterward, and he wanted to open more than one door on the calendar yet again. After we opened Door #2 to reveal a snowman in a train car, we read a note I had written about how people often travel during the holidays and then we looked at our travel pics from last Christmas in Washington. Dennis sadly wailed "I want to see Caedmon and Mirella--let's go to their house" about 20 times, and when I explained that we'd have to take an airplane because they live so far away, he said "then let's get on the airplane--I want to see Kristin and Uncle Michael too." (haven't managed to get him to pick up the 'aunt' title for Kristin yet) He was disappointed that we couldn't go visit so then asked "Can we open Door 3, Mommy? I want to open number 3". Evil Mommy is making him wait until tomorrow but is very impressed that he made the connection that 3 is the next numbered door.
If you happen to notice the lovely beaded garland on my trees (all 4 of them in the house!), I'll let you in on a thrifty secret: it's made of mardi gras beads! I cut the necklaces and twisted the ends together to form as long a garland as I needed. We have a red one, gold one, blue one, white one, and I'm thinking of silver for the next one I make. Gluing the strands might have been more attractive, but you don't notice the ends where I've twisted the beads together. Cheap (well, free actually) and easy!
