I had to miss out on the Christmas party at the kids daycare, but I sent Ed with the camera. It sounded like a fun time with the Russian elf? Ed said he could hardly understand what he was saying. If only Ed knew how to take video's I could hear for myself. Isabella had a great time being the Russian Elf's assistant in all the tricks.
We've been taking Isabella to Creation Station in Studio City for a few months now. We absolutely love it, despite the early Saturday morning wake up call. It took us nearly a year to get in to this place. I tested another place before getting into Creation Station and this one rocks! The parents are not allowed in the dance rooms, but we have small one-way windows to watch our kids. It is perfect. At the other dance place, they had the parents in the room and and kids couldn't detach themselves from the parents. It was such a nightmare.
Right before Halloween and Christmas the kids do a mini recital. Here's pics from the recent recital.
(And yes, Isabella is still a mama's girl)
Ed's parents came over for Thanksgiving week. And boy are we thankful. During our days off we got so much accomplished. After moving out to LA almost two years ago and living through a remodel, we've finally unpacked the garage. I finally found my long lost boxes of shoes and purses. And guess what? I ended up donated 3/4 of them to Goodwill. It was good to clean out the garage and purge of stuff we didn't need anymore. We now can fit one car in the garage. We still have a few boxes to unpack, but we're getting there.
We took the kids out and of course Isabella insisted we do the "train, pony ride and then park." So we did.
Last December was Ethan's 15 month appointment. I couldn't go so Ed took him on his own (a first for either kids).
15th month stats:
Height: 30 inches, 15th percentile
Weight: 23.1 lbs, 27th percentile
Doctor: So, is Ethan walking yet?
Ed: Nope
Doctor: Is he saying five or more words?
Ed: Um...he says "mama", "dada" and "hi"...so uh nope
Doctor: Is he drinking from a sippy cup?
Ed: Nope
Doctor: Has he been introduced to utensils, like fork and spoon yet?
Ed: Nope
Doctor: Well...don't worry. He'll pick it up soon.
The good news is he's healthy, happy and he's proportionate. Though he still looks like a bruiser, he's actually pretty small for his age. Speaking of bruiser, Ed picked up Ethan from school one day and was livid when he saw Ethan.
Apparently Ethan was playing with something and it fell on his face? Not sure all the details, but Ed was pissed off and let them know. But look at what a trooper he is! If he's in pain, he hardly ever lets you know it.
Ed took Isabella out on a little father-daughter excursion. We both decided we wanted to see how she'd take to a pony ride. In the car Isabella says, "okay daddy, we go on the train first, then pony ride and then the park. Okay?"
She loved the pony ride. Now she asks if we can do the "train, pony and then park."
