I'm a Baby!

Peanut's new favorite game is to pretend like she is a baby. I think it is just another branch of this whole baby obsession thing we have been experiencing lately. She wants me to cuddle her like a baby. We talk about the things that babies can not do like drink hot chocolate and eat ice cream. They also drink mommies milk, and I push her face up against my breast. She think that is hilarious. Peanut really liked to nurse, and I am worried about her wanting to nurse again. I want her to know what a big girl she is, but I don't want to push her either. I guess I will just wait and see how it all turns out.

It is cold here now. It hasn't been projected to be above 40 and our thermometer hasn't read above 30 all weekend. We went outside once for a short walk, but I have been brushing off requests for the zoo or for the park. We spent most of the weekend inside or running from shop to shop.

Along with babies, Peanut has been obsessed with baby Jesus and likewise church. It is kind of weird because she doesn't really understand the concept of baby Jesus. She just remembers seeing him all over the place last month and now he isn't around so much. Today at church she ran up to a picture of a black boy nursing on his mother and said "That's baby Jesus". I kinda laughed and wished that my preacher was around to hear it. He would have been so proud.

We toured her new daycare this week. It wasn't the bells and whistles I remember, but very nice just the same. I like the structure that this daycare offers. I also like their infant and younger kids rooms way more than our current place. They don't have an outside playground, but they have garage doors that open in the summer to allow lots of fresh air in. Conversely, they never really have to worry about not having a place to play when it is raining, too cold or too hot. Right now peanut is in gymboree. She will have the opportunity to do it again, but what I am most excited about is her getting to do ballet. The thing I don't like is the lack of natural light, but I think it is something I can get over because the goods definitely outweigh the bads

I need to post more about the funny things she has been saying. Maybe I will do a series of posts on them. I can never really remember the funny things she says when I sit down to write them.
Tonight she was saying in the bathtub "oh my God Soap!" She was chasing the soap around trying to hold onto it.

This is phase 1 of the house remodeling. We have hired a flooring contractor and ordered our new flooring. The thing about flooring is that it isn't really that exciting. When it is all in here together, it is going to look awesome. We also hired a kitchen contractor. They are working on our design. I expect that we will get it back sometime next week. I hope to have the kitchen finished by the end of March. We have yet to find a contractor for the windows. We thought we wanted wood windows, but we might just go with vinyl so we can keep big sliding windows in the front room.

I am also moving forward on the Master's Paper. It isn't going as fast as I would like it to because we keep having to do work at work.
