Life with a toddler.

The happenings of this morning were shocking to me....Brooke made her first claim of not liking Santa! But, she showed her true love for a certain somebody in her life in the process. Brooke woke up a little earlier than normal this morning, so we were lying in bed together watching cartoons when I started trying to get her re-interested in Santa Clause....she made sure to pop my bubble very quickly by saying "Momma, I don't LIKE Santa" which I am sure caused a huge gasp from me and I continued to tell her how Santa is a nice loveable guy like her Paw.....which made her think very seriously before she said with pure excitement in her voice "I don't want Santa to bring me presents, I want PAW to bring me presents!" Paw, you have a large task ahead of you. ;o)

This picture is what you get when you let Brooke pick out her clothes....she has a style of her own! Now, I did add the socks and hair bow but the rest was all her!

I am still awaiting our pic with Santa, when I get it I will post it along with all of her fun cookie making pictures from Saturday. I have decided that along with a smart little girl comes an occasional smart mouth.....I thought I would have at least until she was nine before she starting back talking! Entertaining for sure, and of course she rarely does it where anyone else can hear it, so I am sure friends think I am making it up about my angel! She already has the teeth gritting, mumbling under her breath down that comes with teenage years....I know, I know, better get a handle on it now!

News for us this week....well, Brooke and I got a job yesterday. Brooke and I have been going to Mommy and Me music classes at Joyful Noise Music Studio now for well over a year and after just chit chatting about how my other bosses work load has gone down dramatically for me she called me yesterday and officially offered myself AND BROOKE a job. Meaning, I will be her office manager from 3 to 6 daily and Brooke will go to work with me and she already has her own little play area set up where I will be working! I am excited about the possibilities this job brings, but also a MOM.....totally nervous about how Brooke will react to the situation. Only time will tell, but wish us luck!

Kieler didn't like Santa much either...at least until here recently. I think it was more of a fear thing with him. I am so excited for both of you and your new job!! Good luck!!
