Hello everyone! This was a pretty quiet week on the home front. Our school district had ‘in-service’ all week, so Victoria got to spend each day this week at the after school program (a full day of playing and other activities). One would think that she would have been very happy about this. Before school started, she definitely would have loved this. As it turned out, she was not so crazy about it. We asked her why and she said that would prefer to be in her classroom. Can you believe that…Victoria has gone from wanting to play all day to actually wanting to be in school! Amazing…and we are very happy to hear it.
On Friday morning, Victoria lost her 5th tooth. As we were eating breakfast, she said that her tooth was loose and that she wanted to pull it out. So, there it went and she was excited about Tooth Fairy visiting yet again! While we were at the mall over the weekend, Victoria saw a winter wonderland being set up. She asked Mommy what it was for and was ecstatic when Mommy told her that it was where Santa goes when he visits, so he can talk to children. Of course, this peaked Victoria’s interest and she very much wanted to know when he was coming, so she could talk to him. We told her that we would take her to see him when he visits, but that would be some time from now. She seemed to forget that Santa would not be here for a while…when we were driving home from the mall, Victoria gasped and told Mommy that we missed visiting Santa at the mall…it was really very cute and funny!
Victoria was very animated with stories this week about Russia. Interestingly, she told us about how she had been bitten by a dog (which we knew). It turns out that she was trying to feed it by hand, which was much different than we had originally thought. She also told us about a time that she pretended to be Santa with the other kids in her group at the orphanage. She said that they all got a kick out of her putting “toys” in a wrapped up blanket and throwing it over her shoulder to hand out gifts to the other kids. Of course, she admits that she could not completely pull off the outfit, because she does not have a mustache! Hahahaha…
Here are some pictures from the week…
