Makenna had another Christmas party today at her Wednesday afternoon play group. They didn't have the usual toys out and had tables set up with different craft projects to do. So Makenna was a bit confused but then she saw she could glue and glitter and she loves to spill glitter over everything, given the chance. But she was able to make a small felt stocking ornament and a snowflake ornament. They had a lot of foods during snack time and I had to limit Makenna eating a bunch of junk food, especially since she had a really big lunch.
I tried a couple of "English" party foods. Little sausages, which taste, well, like a mini sausage. They also had "cheese foots", which was basically like a puffed cheese puff in the shape of a foot. They also had sausage rolls, but I decided to pass on that.
Santa came to give out presents and I started to get nervous as I had given them a gift last week to have for today and it seemed to be almost the very last one that he handed out. I walked up with Makenna to get it and she stayed about three feet away from Santa. She liked her gift for all of about 20 seconds and then she saw the gift that Hannah got and wanted that - figures.
While we were eating lunch, Makenna noticed that the sun "disappeared" and she said, "uh, uh, where'd sun go?" I then explained the physics behind the rotation of the earth and how that makes the sun go behind the clouds...just kidding - obviously. I just said it went behind a cloud. Later in the evening, she just started counting and she counted from one to seven all on her own.
She's also still my little drama queen. If she falls, whether on purpose or not, she always stops, and makes sure we ask her if she's alright. She'll say, "oh, you alright?" That's our indication we're supposed to ask her if she's alright. It's quite entertaining when she falls or sprawls out on the floor as though she's fallen accidentally, her way of trying to get out of trouble sometimes.
It will be interesting to see what little habits she continues as she grows.
