Eleanora can now rock pigtails, so cute!
And she likes to steal Daddy's glasses,
Last week Eleanora and I caught up with a very old friend! We had a great time! (**waves hello to Jess**)
Nora is getting very good an applying make up to Daddy,
We put up our Christmas tree last week. It makes the whole apartment so much more home-y!
Tuesday I thought it'd be a good idea to take her to Toddler Tuesday at the Mall and meet Dora the Explorer. Turns out Eleanora is TERRIFIED of characters. Both Dora and Sharky the Underwater World mascot elicited high pitched screams and clawing of my neck trying to climb up me to be protected. So, I took her to Build a Bear instead. She ran around the store like a wild woman but I finally got her to help stuff her doggie and put in the heart,
Things went downhill from there and she turned into a real crank. As you can see,
This face is usually followed by screams and tears and sometimes throwing herself on the ground. Some tips on what NOT to do if you want to avoid this face and tantrum that follows,
1. Don't tell her "No"
2. Don't pick her up when she wants to be down
3. Don't put her down when she wants to be up (she says "bup" for both down and up, so this is a tricky one)
4. Don't let her become more than slightly hungry or thirsty. If she realizes she is moderately to extremely hungry, you better feed her FAST. If you forgot to bring a snack on errands (what are you, some kind of idiot?) then you must buy her the nearest edible item and follow it up with a juice box.
5. Don't take anything out her hand. Lily, Lana, CJ, Carsten, Keaton, Mommy and Daddy can all tell you from experience that she does not take this well.
6. Do not listen to the radio in the car...only a Barney CD
Consider yourself warned.
(as you can see she now has both her top teeth in!)
