I started this sweater while Ruby was on ECMO. I was a bad knitter and didn't check my gauge. Once I realized it was going to be way to big for an infant I set it aside until this fall. I finished it back in October. Ruby picked out the outfit. Thankfully all Thomas shirts were dirty. It's the only time she'll wear it.
Ruby gets a treat after dinner. I try to maximize the fat and calories in it. Ruby has been requesting April cookies. April cookies are the peanut butter cookie with Hershey's Chocolate Kisses in them. She had them for the first time at our friend April's house. The funny thing is April didn't even make them another friend did. April and Sean also have "many kitties" that we have to talk about. I promised Ruby that today after nap we would make some April cookies.
We used some dark chocolate and the rest of the kisses that Santa brought. The cookies might not look as perfect as they would have if I had made them. I am betting these taste even better, though.
We've also started decorating for Valentine's Day. Ruby loves "dacations". I love keeping her busy those hours between nap and dinner. We decorated some salt dough hearts last week.
Herbie provided the music.
We've also been raking leaves.
Ruby has also discovered Tennis. She talks about it almost as much as gymnastics.
Ruby has also gotten very good at beating the eggs for our breakfasts. She will also take her fingers out of her ears long enough to give Herbie his binkie if Mom or Dad can't get to him.
Stay tuned tomorrow afternoon we're gonna make some play dough.
