Thanksgiving

Today was a busy day. We woke up around 7am and got everything packed up and headed to Mount Airy. We started out at the Seivers for Thanksgiving. Mattison had a great time meeting some of them for the first time. She was a little overwhelmed at first, but eventually got used to all the people in a small area. After that we headed to Nene and papas house to see everyone and have another Thanksgiving meal. Considering Mattison is a very scheduled child she did a great job with no nap and being way off her normal routine. We had only a few meltdowns, but they were managable.
We plan on being in Mount Airy until Saturday. We may even venture out to see Santa Claus tomorrow. All Mattison really knows about Santa is that he says "Ho Ho Ho".

Big girl

Everyone over slept this morning, which makes for a wild day. Mattison woke up very cranky this morning. Something tells me that she realizes that she will be two in a few weeks and might be going through some mental/developmental changes. For the past week she has been a little cranky.
I had to make a Target run tonight and Mattison absolutely would not ride in a cart. I allowed her to walk and she did a fairly good job keeping up, but once we strolled by the toy isle she was in heaven. I did however get a lot of great ideas for Christmas and birthday. As we were leaving I stopped by the shampoo isle for shampoo. I turned my back for a second and Mattison was putting bottles and bottles of shampoo in a ladies cart. The poor woman was oblivious that it was going on. I had to get the ladies attention and let her know that Mattison had dumped several bottles of shampoo on her cart so I could dig it out. Luckily the lady was very understanding. My Target trip ended up taking thirty more minutes than it normally does. Thank goodness I have a lot of patiences.
I am looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with Matthew, Mattison, and the rest of the family.

Pictures and short clips

Tonight while watching Mattison's new favorite TV show Zooboomafoo Mattison saw a monkey who is named Zaboo eating nuts and she turned to me and said "Mattison eat cereal and Zaboo eat nuts". I was shocked at that statement. I guess everything she sees is sinking in ... may be good may be bad..
Here are a few pictures and two short video clips. In the video clips Mattison was running around so much it was hard to keep track so they are a little shaky.

Sorry still no pictures tonight. They definitely will be posted tomorrow.
After Mattison's bath tonight she got her ear thermometer out and said "Mattison temptures". She turned the thermometer on, put it to her ear and waited for it to beep. She had a serious look on her face. A look of concentration. Then she took my temperature. She even swiped my hair back before she put the thermometer up to my ear. I could not stop giggling at her.
In other news the tree is still standing. She only took one ornament off the tree and then got bored with it. We will she how long that lasts.

Oh Christmas Tree

I do not have access to my computer again tonight so I am blogging from my phone. I will definitely post pictures and movies tomorrow. We decide to decorate today which I thought it would be a lot of fun. Matti was absolutely wide open today. She was just so excited. She kept saying oooo big tree pretty. When we turned the lights on she was even more excited. We broke several ornaments of course and Matti fell on the large container of ornaments, which freaked her out. We have Matti her own tree, but she was not interested in it. She just wanted the beads off of it and called them bracelets. There is one particular ornament that is a giraffe that she would not stop messing with. It is really cute and it is glass. She kept crying saying "my giraffe" and absolutely would not let us touch it or she would loose it. I am so glad Matthews mother was here. She decorated the whole tree foe us while we tried our best to keep Mattison occupied. We finally finished and definitely have great memories of our first family Christmas decorating experience. The next month we will see if our tree survive little curious minds and hands.

Party time

I have company so I am blogging from my phone so this post will be very short. Today was a very busy day for all of us. Mattison's best friend Hailey had her second birthday party today at little gym. Mattison and I had a blast. After watching Mattison play on all of th equipment and swing from the bars she is definitely going to be signed up for a class soon. She had so much fun and just grinned from ear to ear the entire time. I have pictures to post tomorrow. I will post more info about the weekend tomorrow when I have access to the computer.
