Classtime and Trains

Adia spent the last couple hours on Wednesday in DiDi's classroom. They were making gingerbread houses and she wanted me to take a few pictures. Adia was terrified of all the kids at first, but quickly warmed up. She especially enjoyed all the boys who enjoyed chasing her around and around the desks. She thought they were awesome. She was laughing and squealing in delight. She even started talking for them, which she rarely does when she's acting shy.

After all the running, she wanted a snack. She ate 2 mandarin oranges, some M&Ms and some mini marshmallows. She's going to think that every time we go to DiDi's classroom, we get to eat something yummy. After her snack, DiDi showed her that she could write on the chalkboard. Adia was in love. This time she was surrounded by girls and was once again in heaven. She loves to be the center of attention.


DiDi had a meeting after school so Auntie Colie picked us up. We went to the grocery store to get ingredients for gluten free lasagna and then Adia fell asleep in the car on the way back to Gramma and Papa's house. She slept through the transfer to their couch and actually slept for almost 2 hours. I was able to put the lasagna together and she woke up just before it was time to eat. She was a hungry girl, but ended up wearing more lasagna than she ate. I took off her shirt, thinking she was going to get in the tub, but she was distracted by Papa. They're setting up for their annual Christmas open house and it involves lots of Christmas decorations. Papa was getting ready to set up one of his trains and let Adia help him. She loved it. She'd hand him track pieces and he'd put them together. When it was finished, he let her be the train engineer. She's been asking for the train since we left.




DiDi arrived after her meeting and ate some lasagna too. Then she had ice cream and Adia wanted some as well. She demanded sprinkles on her vanilla ice cream. She likes saying the color of the sprinkle before she eats it.


After her ice cream, Adia grabbed Papa's hand and said, "Want bath, Papa!" So they were off to the bathtub while we watched Mamma Mia. Adia came running out after her bath, yelling, "Naked baby!" We caught her long enough to put pjs on her and she was off again. She liked Mamma Mia a lot, especially the sing-a-long part with Honey, Honey because that's her favorite song.

It was late before we got back to DiDi's house. Adia didn't get to bed until 11 and slept until 8. I wish she'd learn to sleep in, but I can dream, right?
