Nearing the end

With less than 2 weeks until my due date, I'm filled with a range of emotions. From joy to fear (meeting him vs sleepless nights) from happy to sad (about no longer being pregnant) from heartburn to hunger, from hurry up and break water to wait for grandma to get here. Each day I wonder, I wait, I try to rest and I try to prepare myself for what will come soon. I hang on, but I let go too. 

Chores

Violet helps with chore list. 

Little Funny Things

It snowed last night so Violet thought we should go see Christmas lights. 

She calls us by our first names occasionally. 

She told me today that when baby brother gets here he can use her markers. 

She wants peanut butter on everything, today it was a blueberry pancake. 

Violet will stand behind Lulu when Lu is wagging her tail and Violet then says, 'She's wagging me.'

Her favorite story right now is in Richard Scarry's book 'What Do People Do All Day' and it has a Dr. Lion that takes a girl's tonsils out while her mom gives birth to her baby brother. 

She is still singing Jingle Bells. 

She was yelling at Bob to stop dancing. 'No daddy, no. I no like it. '

Dinosaurs

Today's outing was the natural history museum. Bank of America has a museum day the first full weekend of the month, so we show our Alaska Air credit cards and get in for free! Bob and I went for a date day this fall and Violet has been with Bob, but this was the first as a family. She likes the dinosaurs so that was our focus, but they are simply too big to capture in a photo, my apologies. 

Maybe an archeologist?
