N's class read The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane and he loved it so much he wanted to read it again at home. We just finished it and I cannot believe I hadn't heard of it before now. What an amazing story. In graduate school we studied Because of Winn Dixie by Kate DeCamillo so N and I read that earlier in the school year, but Edward Tulane is by far my favorite of hers now.
I am loving monthly meal planning. Except today I realized I don't have the ingredients for tonight's dinner and the next expresslane pick up is tomorrow morning. I may actually have to go into the grocery store :gasp: - or I'll just search Harris Teeters until I find one with a pick up today... a little more likely.
Tomorrow my sweet baby turns 3 months old. She is such a good baby. Yesterday I set her in her crib to go through some clothes and she just fell asleep. I've never had a baby that just falls asleep. Normally there's bouncing, rocking, nursing, the talk of a car ride, and lots of sweating. She also likes to nurse with her feet crossed at the ankle - such a lady already.
I really want to start a monthly post on what my toddler wore vs what I wanted her to wear. It's like a running joke these days. Here's two recent ones:
For the UNC game I'd picked out this cute dress, bow and diaper cover.
She picked a tshirt (with N's name on the back), navy pants, elmo socks, and "neekers"
Another day Chris dressed her and she came downstairs in a Cookie Monster shirt, heart leggings, and bunny shoes.
I convinced her to change into a white shirt (it says Big Sister), green ruffle shorts, and we compromised with bee boots. Oh and I even got a bow in her hair!
I also always said I wouldn't be the mom with all the fuzzy iphone pics. And yes I'm the mom with all the fuzzy iphone pics.
