7:05 Drop off. Not dressed, not showered. Jeremy didn't know that Ariel was even coming until Alex told him. Pretty sad when your four year old is more in the loop than you are.

7:30 Delcious breakfast of apples and cherries and cheerios.

8:15 Nap.

9:40 Wake up.

9:40 I took a shower with Ariel in the exosaucer in the bathroom. She didn't enjoy it much, but she didn't hate it either. But I do think it's easier for both of us if I take care of that before she gets here.

10:00 Time to go to Crissy's house. So the 411, yes, they are definately moving to the greater Washington DC area at the end of December. Mr. Crissy has a job there, and they put a bid on a house. This weekend, I finally told Alex that his best friend was moving and he was very sad. He cried. Then I told him I was sad because my best friend was moving too. So periodically he asks me if I'm still sad. And he came up with a solution - Jeremy could get a job in DC and we could move too. Uh, not bloody likely (no offence of course, Crissy). Crissy's house hunting trip was a bit confusing for Alex. Last night he asked who Gavin's new mommy was that took him to the park. And I think somehow he thought that Crissy and Mr. Crissy moved and left there kids behind and he asked why they didn't want Marcus and Gavin anymore. But I think we got it all straightened out.

Ariel had a bottle in the car. And when I got her out of the car she gave me a little claw wave and said, "bye." I count that as the first word I've definately gotten out of her.

Have I mentioned it's snowing yet? Technically it's not the first official snow, that happened last week but only the foothills got anything to stick. Today we have big fluffy snow:



11:00ish Ariel ate an ice cream cone

12:00ish Ariel had some oranage (carrots, Jana, not orange colored crayons).

12:30 Ariel took a nap with a bottle on Crissy's floor.

1:20 Woke up. Not very happy.

1:50 I put her back down with another bottle. She drank it but didn't go back to sleep. She was in a better mood though.

Ariel was playing with Crissy and pulled up on the magazine rack. That's the first time I've seen her pull up without getting stuck half way and screaming her head off.



3:40 We finally left Crissy's to take Ariel to Becky's work. Adam fell asleep in the car.

4:00 Drop off Ariel at Becky's work.

PS Adam went to bed when we got home and he's still asleep as of 7:00. That seems bad, huh?

PSS We have 3-4 inches of snow now. Alex asked if it was winter.
