When you woke up this morning, you were back and forth trying to decide if you were going to go to gymnastics. When I reminded you that Baby Olivia would be there you decided to go! I was so excited that you finally went back to gymnastics!! I spoke with Coach Nickie about what you have been saying about not wanting to go to gymnastics and she thinks it is because you are bored, but don’t know how to say that. She was thinking to move you up to the 5-8 year old class after the new year, but she thinks we need to do it sooner. So, you will do a trial of that class next week. Her only concern was that you run off from the group at times, but she thinks that by you being the youngest, you will follow the example of the older girls. Now, you are the oldest in your class and you are the leader.
So excited to see Olivia! 
After class we went to fancy breakfast with baby Olivia & Chrissy. You were so good and loved playing with Olivia. When we finished, we went home to play & on the way you put make up on in my car. You were so proud of yourself. At home, you ran upstairs to play & race trains with Daddy. When you finished, we took a bath, snuggled with me on the couch & watched some avengers. I was kind of hoping you would doze off for a cat nap, but no luck!
We got dressed in our jammies to go ride the Polar Express. We picked up Ms. Sandy & Dean. You loved checking out her decorations and telling her all about moving up to pre-k, moving up in gymnastics and Spanish class! You miss her so much!!!! She gave you a Christmas ornament with our picture on it and you were so excited!!!!
When we got to the train, you were so excited. You couldn’t believe we had to wait until we got to the North Pole to get hot cocoa because they serve it on the train in the movie. You were telling everyone on the train “Santa’s working a hundred hard to make toys for the kids! He’s working so hard. So So Hard. So hard he can’t even stop!” When we got there we saw Santa first. You were so happy to see him and ran right up and sat down in front of him. He was behind plexiglass, but it didn’t bother you one bit. He complimented your Santa hat and you were happy to tell him it’s just like yours! You told him “I want a rainbow big girl helmet. I will wear it all day & night!” As we were getting ready to leave, you put your hand on the glass and said “I love you Santa!” On the way out, you got your bell from Santa’s sleigh and you were so delighted!
We played in the snow, played trains, made reindeer food & made s’mores. The weather was perfect and we had so much fun. This is my favorite Christmas activity & I was joking that we will still be going when you are 20!
We were on the 7p train for the first time ever. We didn’t get home until after 11:30p. You weren’t tired (you said) and wanted to play your Christmas Naughty or Nice game on Directv. I couldn’t believe you were sitting up and playing. I let you unwind for a few minutes, then took you directly to my bed. You were not happy I wouldn’t put the TV on in my room, but you were snoring in 2 minutes!! I think I was more tired than you!!!
I love you so much!
