I have pictures to post from tree hunting and funny stories to share, but I also have a video. Adia loves the Elmo's World Happy Holidays DVD. We've watched it more times than I can count. Adia's favorite part is the "Dreidel" song. She does, what we've affectionally started calling, the dreidel dance. She gets super embarrassed if you say anything about it (or she happens to notice a certain Mommy is taping her).

DiDi's been here since Thursday night and Adia's been loving it, especially since piggie's here too. Friday night we watched movies and ate ice cream. Adia did a really good job eating ice cream by herself, sitting at her table. When she had finished hers, she drank the melted ice cream out of the bottom of the bowl and then ran to steal DiDi's. She ended up eating most of DiDi's ice cream too.
I have to write this so I don't forget it because it shocked both DiDi and me. Daddy's sick so DiDi bought him some cough drops. Adia was carrying them around the house and since they had a strawberry on the front, she thought they were candy. I took them from her and she got upset. I told her they made sick daddies feel better and were only for daddy. She thought about it for a minute and said, "ok." A few minutes later she pointed at them on the counter and said, "Those daddy's because he's sick." Both of our jaws hit the floor. When Daddy popped one in his mouth that evening, Adia didn't ask for any either.
We saw Gamma and Papa on Saturday morning. Adia was up with DiDi and actually let me sleep in a little bit. Adia ignored Papa at first was busied herself with Gamma's purse. We think she was punishing Papa for not seeing her last time. She soon forgave him and was all about playing with Papa. She swung her around by his feet, hung her upside down. She was a very happy girl and never wanted him to stop. She was super upset when they had to leave.
Adia's been obsessed with her Doodle Pro. I think they're the best toys for kids Adia's age. She can write to her heart's content, erase it and start all over. She can't write on anything else either. It's terrific. The perfect no mess toy for my artsy kid. I think we need one for home and one for the car. She especially likes getting her hand traced or requesting houses and apples.
We've had a lazy day today, but sometime this afternoon, Gamma and Papa will be back and we're going Christmas tree hunting. Of course, the weather turned cold, rainy and windy. We're going to freeze!

Not much to report. We're sick again and Adia's pediatric GI appointment is next week. We've mostly been staying at home, trying to get healthy and stay warm.
Adia's been a real goof. She'd just finished dinner when I asked her to give daddy a kiss. This is the expression she made.
On Wednesday, I had a doctor appointment for some pain I've been having. Adia was willing to ride in the elevator and after several failed attempts to get off on the wrong floor, she finally decided to wait until we gave her the okay. She was great during the appointment, even though she started it thinking it was her appointment instead.
That evening we went out to dinner with Gamma. When Gamma knocked on the door and we opened it, Adia smiled at her and then looked around Gamma. She looked down the stairs and said, "Papa?" I guess she knows they two of them go together. When DiDi arrived last night, Adia smiled at her, but pointed at GG and screamed, "Piggie!" She now thinks DiDi and Piggie are a packaged deal too.
She's been stealing my phone rather frequently lately. Usually she wants to call or text DiDi, but yesterday she talked to Tanae, while she sat in the fort Daddy made her. When Daddy got home from work yesterday, Adia started trying to drag chairs from the kitchen into the living room. We couldn't figure out what she was attempting to do until she started yelling, "Fort!" Daddy then built her a fort that stayed up most of the day.
She's still obsessively watching Kung Fu Panda along with Wall-E, Cookie and Thomas. She even sacked out on our bed to watch Tarzan while I was printing Christmas letters.
Last night she got particularly mad because Daddy and Mommy were watching Doctor Who and wouldn't let Adia put in one of her movies. She threw multiple fits (didn't help that she hadn't napped) and kept bringing us cartoon after cartoon.

having a fit because we won't watch it
Adia was happy to wake up and find DiDi AND Piggie this morning. DiDi had to go to a dentist appointment though. Adia didn't throw too much of a fit because she left Piggie behind.
