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!
