Today was the Family Centre Christmas party both Edzea and Rohan enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Rohan won’t leave poor Desiree alone. He actually left a love bite on her shoulder when I was babysitting her the other day. He mauls her. He chases her and hugs and kisses her continually. We had to pull him off her repeatedly at the party. She did look really cute. He doesn’t do this with anyone else. It’s very odd.

He also won’t sit still during anything anymore. I think I spent more time chasing him during circle time/Santa time until finally Mary took him and sat him on her lap. He just kept going for the tree ornaments. He gets very mad when you intervene!

Anyways, Santa did turn up and I didn’t warn Edzea but she was fine with him at the Family Centre. He brought books for all of the kids. She wouldn’t go near him but she quite enjoyed watching him from a distance.

Snack time was filled with Christmas treats which you will see that Edzea loaded up on her plate. I thought she was going to get sick but she didn’t eat it all thank goodness.

This is probably the last post until after we return from holidays so Happy Holidays and enjoy the Family Centre pics.

Notice from the pics how long Edzea’s friends hair is compared to hers. When is it going to fill in???

Busy day. SSI Christmas party for the kids which was great. Pancake brunch spread, magicians, Christmas crafts and a visit from ol’ St.Nick. Rohan sat with Santa no problem. Unfortunately our batteries died and we didn’t get a picture of it. Looks like there won’t be any photos on Santa’s knee for Edzea this year. She ran screaming from him this year. When I had her out of the party room, the first question she asked was, “Where’s his sleigh Mommy?” So, we went back in to ask Daddy and Daddy said, ” On the roof of course.” “I want to see it,” says Edzea. We told her it was too cold out. She watched Santa from a safe distance on Daddy’s knee and then her babysitter, big boy friend, Cole, retrieved her gift from Santa for her. She received a Curious George book and her first real board game, Candyland. Santa had a little help with the gifts as Amanda and I were asked to “help” Santa with some elf duties earlier in the week.

Rohan received some little fisher price cars and a puppet board book on Goldfish. He LOVES cars. He has a little garage that I picked up for Edzea ages ago and he likes to play with it with his cars. He even makes the engine sounds. No one taught him this. It must be an innate boy thing. Rohan was played with by all of the teenage girls at the party. In fact he was with our other babysitter, Megan, for most of the morning. We haven’t actually had a babysitter since Rohan was born but she’s in line for it for sure as he likes her alot too although he’s pretty easy with everyone. Gina looks after him once a week right now and I look after Owen. We do a trade and Owen cries on and off the whole time he’s here while Rohan just has a great time at Gina’s house. He doesn’t even notice I’m gone!

Anyhow, the day went well. We went to Tracey & Markham’s for Desiree’s first birthday party. They had a ton of food and it was very Christmasssy! Edzea and Georgia and Mackenzie are a threesome.

I had Mackenzie over the other day and during the course of the playdate, Edzea told Mackenzie, “No, Mackenzie, don’t do that it hurts my feelings.” They were yelling about each other’s siblings and talking about hair cuts…it’s too complicated to write down.

Also, when I was super busy the other day getting ready for our brunch last week. I guess I was telling her to get out of my hair and get out of the kitchen. She sat down with her blankie, looked up at me and said, “Mommy, that’s not very nice to me. It’s mean.” So, I played a Bingo game with her and gave her a cookie because I felt so bad!
