Sorry folks, we’ve been slacking I guess! Here are a couple Taylor stories…
We’ve been having difficulty getting Taylor to leave her daycare in the evenings. Brian got her to leave one afternoon by telling her, “Taylor, we need to go home so we can hide from mama.” I was in the kitchen when they came in, I heard this sweet little voice say, “Mama” and I turned around. Taylor was standing in the middle of the kitchen with her hands over her eyes. Of course, I obliged. I took a dramatic gasp and said, “Where’s my Taylor? I know I just heard her! Where could she be?” She took her hands off her hands and roared. I screamed and she giggled and gave me a running hug. Ah, the little things in life…
I came home Wed night (Dec 7) to find Taylor and daddy “hiding” from me in her bed. After I found them, she started telling me about hearing a train “and it went chugga-chugga choo-choo!” Somewhere in there she mentioned Devin hitting her (boy at school who’s a bully) and getting in trouble. She also mentioned Santa and that she was going to ask him something. Brian stopped her and said, “Taylor, tell mommy what you’re going to ask Santa for.” She said, “I gonna ask Santa for a choo-choo train!” (Oh! First she told me that she was going to ask Santa for a birthday cake. She’s ready for her party and we’re telling her Christmas first, then her party) Then she went back to talking non-stop. Well! It just so happens that there is a Thomas the Train set under the guest bed right now and, at the time, 3 other train cars from the show were in the trunk of my car. I think I mentioned in another post that she informed us she was getting a bike – a pink one. That was about a month ago. This past Saturday we took her to Walmart and let her pick one out. I then took her over to look at the fish and Christmas lights while Brian paid for it and put it in the trunk. She hasn’t said a word about it or asked about it – Christmas should be really really fun. 🙂
