Miles has been working on his ABC's for some time now and has had his letters down, but I finally just captured it on video.
We got a new computer, finally! Ahmad has had a good time working on all the new applications and had a great time putting together and editing this Christmas video of Miles.
Miles continues to be overjoyed with his new sibling. He's so cute and continues to play with the baby and talk to it and snuggle with it. The other night, after our bug-bugs, Miles wanted to say goodnight to the baby. He pulled up my shirt to see baby and gave it a kiss. He said "I know, I know, you miss me. I'll see you tomorrow. We have your bed ready and your fish ready. I love you!" It was precious! (the fish are a crib toy that Miles had and now we have one for the baby as well).
When I picked up Miles from school on Friday, he was very talkative (which he is most of the time these days). He started talking about his favorite foods on the way home and stated that he liked Taco Bell, burgers, sandwiches, and french fries. It was very funny because we never even eat at Taco Bell, so I'm sure this is something he heard at school. However, he is also into gummy bears and BBQ sauce these days. He loves them both and is even preferring BBQ sauce to ketchup, which is a huge switch for him. At first, he just called it 'sauce', but now says BBQ sauce. He also stated once he got home that "Michael Jackson goes hee hee" It was hilarious! Another school trick.
We were able to spend Saturday evening with our good friends, the Kleins. We had a great Christmas celebration and good food. Miles enjoyed spending time with his girlfriend, Lauren, and showing her how to use the new toy he got her for Christmas.
We also had a few other things happening this week. Ahmad got a new job and will be starting the first of the year. He decided it was time for a change and fortunately, found another opportunity he thought he'd like to pursue. He's going to be starting a sales position and is excited about the new adventure! Unfortunately, dad also had a turn of events and landed in the hospital with pneumonia. Thankfully, he's mending well and is hoping to be home tomorrow. Miles held up well when we finally located the seasonal flu shot. He was a trooper and didn't mind the shot at all. He winced, but then it was over and he got a band aid and a sticker-what more could you want?!
Yesterday was fairly nice, for December, and we really wanted to get to Christmas at the Zoo, so we decided to go for it. We invited our neighbors and Katie and the girls were able to go with us. It was pretty funny when I picked him up from school. Apparently he had been planning his evening and told his teacher that he was going to eat a lunchable with cheese, crackers, and ham. Then he was going to take a bath, watch Imagination Movers and go to bed. Well, I had to shake that up and asked him if he'd like to go to the zoo instead. He was so very excited, it was adorable! When we got out to the car, he started "yee-hawing" and even said "Yee-haw! Ride a pony!" I have no idea where that came from, but it was very funny. Somehow he also started talking about how old he was and I said, well, you are almost 3. He took that and ran with it! He concluded, accurately, that he would be having a 3rd birthday and he'd get a cake, presents, we'd sing to him and he was going to wear a party hat. It was very cute. His eyes kept lighting up and he was grinning from ear to ear at the thought of his birthday. I had to explain to him when that would be happening as we've been saying that first Santa would come and then the baby would come. We added on to that and said that after the baby, then we'd have his birthday. He tried to get me to reorder that, but of course we can't! We were already planning to have a very small party for him and now it seems that was a good idea!
So, we did make it to the zoo and had a great time. It got cold at the end, but the lights were amazing-there were so many, and even took a ride on the train.
We're looking forward to another great week and the upcoming holidays. I can't believe Christmas is next week!
