Mommy's Helper

One of the girls I work with gave Isha a big box of clothes that her little girl, Tatum, has outgrown. It has been fun dressing Isha up in all these new clothes. I can't thank Holli enough for giving us all of these cute clothes. While I was getting dinner ready, Isha figured out how to open up the cupboard doors. She was excited not only that they opened, but that there were treasures hidden inside. She has also discovered the dishwasher. If I could just get her to empty it when the dishes are clean! Actually I am sure that she would empty if it for me, but I don't think that the dishes would end up where they belong. The Millers came over for dinner last night. We haven't seen them in quite awhile. Hartley is now a year old. We put the girls in the pack n play while we ate dinner. They had a good time putting on a show for us while we ate. After a few minutes I had to bribe them to stay in there just a few more minutes with graham crackers. Hartley was so cute, she shared her graham cracker with Isha and then Isha tried to steel the toy that Hartley had. I guess Isha figured that if she was willing to give up food she would be willing to give up the toy. Today we got our first snow of the year. I tried to take a picture of it because it was so pretty, but it didn't really show up. But trust me there was snow and it actually helped put me in the holiday spirit. While Isha was taking her afternoon nap, I got all the Christmas decorations out of the attic. Yesterday Jai was in a car accident. Luckily he wasn't hurt and the other person was okay also, but the truck doesn't look so good. The whole passenger side will have to be fixed. I am just glad that Jai is okay! Scary stuff. Last night was also a little tough. Isha decided to get up at 12:30 in the morning and wouldn't go back to sleep. It took two hours to get her back to sleep. She has been sleeping through the night for so long that I was worried that something was wrong. Today she has been fine so hopefully tonight will be better. We are wondering if she is teething, but there has been no drooling or fevers, so who knows what is going on!
