This little puppy provided a few welcomed moments of distraction while waiting for our delayed flight from San Francisco to Atlanta. The puppy didn't love Lucca near as much as she loved him. Or maybe he didn't love being squished in a duffle bag for hours. The good news is Lucca was a good girl on the LOOONG flight, despite our epic fail of bringing a dead laptop that had all her shows loaded on it. She didn't sleep a wink on the flight - but what's new?
Christmas is right around the corner! You know how I know? Because it's Monday morning and Daddy didn't go into work until 11AM! We had a nice family morning down at our coffee shop and then we walked along the Sausalito waterfront to look at all the boats - one of our favorite things to do. Lucca loved how the boats were decorated for Christmas...lots of lights and ornaments to see.
Lucca LOVES wearing mommy's Uggs. Can't blame the girl!
But Daddy, please buy mommy a new pair for Christmas - these poor boots have seen their better days.
Bedtime snuggles with Daddy after another very long day.
Also, can someone tell my husband Movember is over???
The Calm after the Storm
Whew! Bedtime! Today was not so merry & bright. You gave me a glimpse of a toddler tantrum and I would be content to never experience that again. To set the scene: we had a very rainy Sausalito day, a skipped nap, and a dead car battery. Once the car was fixed, you decided you did indeed want a nap, only it was too late in the day to let you sleep for long. When I woke you up, you were not happy.
We got in the car to go to the grocery store and discovered our stereo system needs to be re-programmed after the battery situation. To get the code, we have to physically go to Land Rover. You do not understand this. You want to hear "I'm a Little Teapot" NOW!!! The tears begin. The screaming begins. "Teapot, teapot, teapooooot" you shout. I figure once we get to the store you will be just fine, for this is certainly not my girl. I get you in the cart and the tears start falling again. You can't communicate what you want, but you are mad. I put a few things in the cart before realizing we needed to get out of that store asap. As soon as we got back in the car, you begged for the teapot song again. My singing wasn't cutting it. Pandora on the iPhone wasn't cutting it. Nothing was making you happy...Until we got home and let you watch Sesame Street. I've never been so happy to see Elmo in all my life. Dinner plans failed, and a Domino's pizza was ordered.
First stop tomorrow? Land Rover dealership.
We ran into "Oliver Twist" today while Christmas shopping at The Village. This jolly green elf made Lucca a purple puppy dog balloon and she was amazed. And then she wanted to take every other balloon animal he made for all the other kids. We came home with more balloon animals than we did Christmas gifts, but such is life when shopping with a toddler...
After a long day, here we are reading our bedtime story by the fire.
"Sweet dreams little kitty, Rock-a-bye and nighty night.
Sweet dreams little bunny, Big hugs and sleep tight.
Sweet dreams little puppy, Love and kisses, good night."
