WhoHoo... WhoHoo...

DD, that's who! Yes, she's still being an owl. I managed to get her to bed last night prior to 11pm, and I call that a victory. I keep waffling between thinking I must be doing something wrong that she's staying up so late, and throwing my hands up and calling it genetic. Her daddy stays up until at least 2am every night, and occasionally sees the sunrise.

We're having a big potluck at work on Thursday. My coworkers haven't seen the little bug for months and months. I'd love if she could join me for lunch. But, DH would have to bring her and I don't know if I could convince him to come hang out at my workplace for that long. Hrm.

I managed to boycott Black Friday this year, mostly out of laziness. I did do some online shopping during the week prior though. I already have gifts for DH and little bug. I still need to shop for my parents, brother and SIL, and niece, and some friends.

In other news, DH officially dislikes all of my ideas for what I want for Christmas. None of my suggestions suit his opinion of a proper gift, I guess. A knife sharpener, apparently, is not a good gift, nor are some books that I want. I guess he's on his own!

Two years

My child is two years and two months old now.

She reads little golden books easily, anything of about that level is perfect for her. Unfortunately she is still pretty hard on the pages... so we are still limited to checking out board books from the library. It is too bad, as she burns through them very quickly. I will definitely have to get her more books for Christmas.

Speaking of... I think we have come to a happy medium about Santa. DH is against passing off the myth as reality. But, DD has started to understand pretend,so that is what the jolly fat man shall be. One of these years I will have to make sure she doesn't spoil it for any other children... A parenting dilemma for another year.
