1. The huge TV that we were holding for my parents (circa 1991) was taken away leaving a big hole in our entertainment center.
2. The entire office has to be relocated into the kitchen area so we can make the office room a nursery.
3. The kitchen table is gone and we bought a smaller one - one that needs to be painted.
4. The light in the kitchen now doesn't work and needs to be replaced.
5. The living room/tv needs setting back up somehow.
6. All office furniture needs to go out.
7. Elli's furniture needs to move into the office.
8. We have to pick up and assemble/possibly paint Elli's new furniture.
9. We have to assemble and organize the nursery.
It might not seem like a lot but it is completely overwhelming me. I hate doing things in little stages and that is the only way to do this. Yep, its going to be a long few weeks, but I'll post pictures as we finish things up (if I don't implode before then!)
At any rate, I know you aren't reading this to hear me complain but to see Elli so below are a few funny Elli videos.
PS - even though I hate the chaos, I love having the opportunity to redecorate. We moved into this house quickly and I haven't really felt comfortable in it yet so I'm glad we get the opportunity to clean up, clean out, and re-do!
Nothing makes a K-2 teacher happier than seeing her kid love the ABC's.
PS - Elli loves the letter "o" but it is the only one she knows right now.
Thanks Aunt Melissa for the cool fridge toy!!
This proves that Elli hears and retains more than we want her to sometimes; I guess I thought Jacob's fall and subsequent "boo-boo" was gross.
What a neat fridge toy! Where did she get it? I love how it says the letter when she puts it on the gizmo!! And the cute bouncing little girl helps sell the product too :)
ReplyDeleteI think they have them at places like Books a Million - I've seen them there. They have some other ones that might be good for him start with. Elli had one that was animal pairs and when you put the two pieces in the holder it sang a song (whether you got the right animal match or not!) She LOVED that one. She played it so much she wore out the volume, thats why Melissa donated her old letter one. I saw one at Books a Million that was zoo animals, Elli had farm animals. Either way, it really is a good toy for them to play with while cooking!
