12 Days of Christmas- Day 11



Day 11 gets its own post because the airport was fun! Santa came by the Southwest gate. Cass was confused and excited. Confused because the man who got us through security looked like Santa and when she asked him, he totally played along.

Excited because then there was Santa! To whom she said, "Santa, I thought you were working over there!"

Santa gave out candy canes and cheer and was just a really fun part of a long day. Cass only had one timeout. It was in Vegas during our short layover. Yes, we took pictures. Matt is standing pretty close, I cropped him out. I plan on using these to embarrass her in about 10 years...

When we fly we take candy to the flight attendants as a preemptive thank you and bribe! It's our way of saying we have no real control over how Cass will react on the plane, but we do prepare for the worst and hope for the best and we thank you for your patience. Cass took our glittering package with a gold bow on top and said Merry Christmas to our flight attendants. I'm pretty sure all hearts melted on the spot. They kept the snacks flowing, we kept the movies, books, toys and crayons going- everyone was happy!

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith, I am sure that bloggers across the world are firing away about a news piece gone viral today. http://gma.yahoo.com/k-e-diet-brides-using-feeding-tubes-rapidly-080053646--abc-news-health.html In case this link is non-existent by the time you read this, long story short, people are using feeding tubes for rapid weight loss in a short amount of time. This is your mother talking. If for some reason this ridiculous trend is still around when you grow up, and you think about doing this to your self, please know that I will spank you and put you in timeout. You do not diet to fit into a dress, or suit. You pick an outfit that highlights your best attributes and get it tailored to fit your body, not the other way around. No matter what size you are, as long as your are healthy, not putting toxins into your body, and exercising, whatever size you are is beautiful and perfect in God's eyes because God does not make mistakes. There is a flattering de...
