I will write more later as I realize I haven't updated in a while, but I wanted to take a minute to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! Santa and my family were all so great to me and I've been busy playing all day!
Merry Christmas to my Great Grandma and Great Grandpa!
And last but not least, here is my version of Jingle Bells. Enjoy!

I think the Elf told Santa I was good!
It's been a busy week! Here are all of the crazy places that I've found Clyde over the past week.
Day 7: I found Clyde in the bathroom! I had to be VERY careful when I washed and dried my hands that I didn't touch him - I didn't want his magic to disappear!
Day 8: Clyde decided to help and vacuum the dining room! Kind of ironic given that I told him I want Santa to bring me a vacuum cleaner...
Day 9: I found Clyde sitting on the mantle in the family room watching TV! He must have been channel surfing, because he borrowed the remote!
Day 10: I didn't even have to go downstairs to find Clyde! He was sitting in the window above the front door :) I saw him when I walked out of my room before I even went downstairs!
Day 11: I think Clyde must have been bad - I found him in the time out corner! He had to stay there ALL day - I'm glad I'm good and don't have to spend *that* much time in time out :)
Day 12: Clyde must have been thirsty, because he was hanging on to the bottle of Ginger Ale.
We've had a good week - dad had to travel the beginning part of the week and I was excellent and listened to mom very well. I had a few night terrors, but nothing too awful. Dinners were great all week and mornings weren't even a struggle. Well, except this morning. Mom laid my clothes out and I put them on. Only problem is that my jeans were backwards! Mom tried to convince me to turn them around, but I didn't want to. So I went to school with backwards jeans and apparently told EVERYONE today that my pants were on backwards. I bet people think mom is crazy ;)
This weekend, I think we'll finish getting ready for Christmas. Mom and I decorated the tree earlier this week - all of the unbreakable ornaments are about 2-3 feet from the ground, ha ha. Mom hung the breakable ones up a little higher so kitty (and I) can't get to them. I helped mom wrap a few presents and helped dad put a few under the tree. Daddy and I put the nativity and all of the silver bells out last night while mommy was running on the treadmill. I can't wait for Christmas and can hardly believe it's NEXT WEEK already! I hope Santa brings me my vacuum cleaner!!!

Frosty Morning!
I slept pretty well last night again (mom's knocking on wood as I say this) - had a rough time waking up, but once I remembered that I had a mission to find Clyde, it was much easier to get up! I looked all over my room, the bathroom, the guest room, daddy's office and mommy and daddy's room and he wasn't there! So we went downstairs to see where he was. Kitty was anxiously waiting for us on the other side of the gate at the top of the stairs as she does most mornings. Mom closes the gate so she doesn't run into my room when mom checks on me or in mom and dad's room when mom gets up in the morning. And she knows that when I wake up, she gets fed (that's my job!).
We went downstairs and I looked and looked and looked. He was hard to find this morning! But when I went to the kitchen to tell mom what I wanted for breakfast, I looked up and this is what I saw...he was pretending to cook with one of mom and dad's pans and one of my spoons! Mom said maybe he used my spoon because it was more his size than a regular spoon. Who knows, but I sure hope he leaves it when he goes to see Santa tonight!
It was frosty this morning when mom and I left for school - I don't remember ever seeing frost before and was curious about it. Mom let me touch the frost on the car and it felt like ice!!! Brrrrr...
We put our tree up tonight and I got to turn the lights on all by myself! I even got to hang the first two ornaments on it :) We'll hopefully finish decorating tomorrow night, but for now I'm going to try to get some sleep!

Great Day!
What a great day! I woke up well again and came down to find Clyde sitting on the rocking chair in the living room :)
I listened to mom really well this morning and got dressed without any prompting. Mom had my outfit laid out (usually she lets me pick my own clothes) because today was picture day. Unfortunately they won't be back before Christmas, but she didn't want to take a chance that I'd pick a pair of purple striped leggings with an orange flower top with a turquoise headband :) We settled on a pair of jeans and a nice white shirt with a heart on it that Danny, Wanda and Gabriel gave me for my birthday! Mom made me wear a sweatshirt to eat breakfast so I didn't get it dirty before pictures.
It was SUPER cold this morning, so mom was glad to have the remote starter in her car. She took our bags out, then came back and carried me out. She always says she feels like a bag lady - on any given day, she has her computer bag, either her purse or gym bag, a cup of coffee and my backpack and whatever other random stuff I decide to take to school. That's the one drawback to having me rearfacing still - if my shoes are wet, mom's car seats get gross and she has to climb in to get me buckled. So if it's raining or the ground is wet, mom carries me to the car if she can. Mom had me stand on the scale after dinner the other night and I was 31.7 lbs, so I still have 3.3 lbs to go before I have to be turned around (or get a new carseat) :)
Mom had to go to Baltimore today, so got to take the ICC for the first time - she ended up getting to downtown Baltimore in about 45 minutes, which is about HALF the time it's been taking her to get to DC by Metro. Ironic that she can drive 50 miles in half the time it takes to drive 5 miles and take a train for less than 20. It was nice for her to get a break from the terrible DC commute, but she said she still wouldn't want to do it every day anymore!
I listened really well when she picked me up and we came home and cleaned up a bit - mom did the dishes and cleaned out the can cupboard - crazy, but needed to be done! I did such a great job of listening and cleaning up my toys and art supplies - mom gave me tons of hugs and kept telling me how proud she was of me. We had grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner - yum! Mom cut my sandwich into sticks and I dipped it in the soup and ate it all. I had a quick bath, then mom let me watch one episode of Dora - a big treat for me! But it let me wind down and she got some laundry put away before bed - whatever you need to do, right? There's not much down time when daddy is traveling!
We read the Grinch and I went to bed reasonably well. It's a little chilly tonight, but I'm all bundled up with comfy blankies and a ton of stuffed animals.
Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday - it means that daddy comes home and that I get to spend two days at home afterwards! Hope you're all doing well and I can't wait to wake up and see where Clyde is in the morning! He definitely told Santa that I was nice today!

Meet my Elf, Clyde!
Guess who came to visit me the other night? An Elf sent by Santa! He sent a book with the Elf and mommy, daddy and I read it together before bed. I got to pick a name for the Elf and decided to call him Clyde. It was one of the suggested names in the book, but I had a hard time coming up with anything else. He apparently comes every day to watch me to see if I've been naughty or nice. At night after I go to bed, he leaves and goes to tell Santa how I was that day. He comes back the next morning and I have to try to find him. One rule - we're not allowed to touch him, otherwise his magic will go away! So we have to be careful just to look and not touch.
Day 1: On the Shelf in my room. I really didn't like him in my room and woke up MANY times and was pretty freaked out that he was in there. I was glad when I woke up at one point and mom was able to show me that he was gone. I didn't know where he was, but I didn't really care as long as he wasn't in my room!
Day 2: I woke up really easily when mom came in to wake me up (unusual for me). I was excited to go try to find Clyde. I got dressed and ran downstairs to see if I could find him. My eyes lit up when I walked around the corner and found Clyde hanging on my easel!
Day 3: I again woke up pretty easily and wanted to find Clyde. I found him when I sat at the table to eat breakfast - he was hanging from the light above the table!!! How funny is that??? Mom and I are on our own the rest of the week, so she and dad are hoping the Elf reminds me to keep my listening ears on - I haven't been listening to mom so well lately.
Day 4 was this morning. I woke up and found Clyde in my bathroom! He was sitting on top of the picture that my Great Grandma Coble made for me (ok, she really made it for mom, but mom thought I would enjoy it so hung it in my bathroom). I was happy to have found him, but had trouble going potty and brushing my teeth because I didn't like being so close to the Elf. Mom kept telling me it was ok and I finally got through it and got dressed and ready for the day.
Where do you think we'll find Clyde tomorrow???
