Tony went and picked Christopher up from daycare about 30 minutes after Mallory was born. When Christopher came into the hospital room, he looked around and said "Where is Mallory's Mom and Dad?" I told him that we were Mallory's Mom and Dad and he said "I have to share?" But now he knows that she is ours and even said he wanted Mom and Mallory to come home with him and Daddy. Christopher bought Mallory a present when she came home. It is a pink seahorse, he is very proud of his purchase.<br /></div><div>Tony and I are doing well, we are both tired this week.

My due date has moved to March 30 according to the ultrasound. She was 8 oz and 18 weeks. The tech had to take a lot of pictures and extra measurements (since I am old). Our baby girl looked perfect, the tech said everything looked great. That was good to hear. My belly is getting very big. I need to take some photos. I took a photo of my belly every week with Christopher. I already and depriving my 2nd child before she even gets here.<br /><br />Christopher carried a Mr Potato head around for 2 days after the ultrasound and told me it was "his baby". He even put the baby in his bed at night. He will be a good big brother, even though I think this will be a big adjustment for all of us.<br /><br />Out Broadway house is coming along, Tony, Bill and Dad have been working everyday. The plaster is almost done, the water is almost done and the furnace is almost done. I am ready for all the almosts to be all dones. I wanted to be moved in by Christmas, but we are not going to be ready by then. I want to be there for the new baby gets here in March. So now I am moving my move in date to January.<br /><br /><br /><div><br />Christopher dressed up like Superman for Halloween. I had bought him 2 costumes; lion for walking around town since it is warmer and Superman for school party. But he really liked the Superman costume and wanted to wear it every time he dressed up. He thought he was Spiderman instead of Superman. </div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJL4Y5QOHeQE44y_m0HyNW0kRB8dQ3YhyphenhyphenlEagiMMpbgWyAz-TTL1A4HDuEHiBarAkG7trDb3-jsjD_R9Z8tVXvW6V0DNwkbllRez0-N2dy3mZgac_PruzBwa7i2Mzd8qfa0X5zhPzjCjYi/s1600-h/100_2768.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399576728858264434" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJL4Y5QOHeQE44y_m0HyNW0kRB8dQ3YhyphenhyphenlEagiMMpbgWyAz-TTL1A4HDuEHiBarAkG7trDb3-jsjD_R9Z8tVXvW6V0DNwkbllRez0-N2dy3mZgac_PruzBwa7i2Mzd8qfa0X5zhPzjCjYi/s320/100_2768.jpg" /></a><br /><br />I have been working allot and been very busy. HR has laid off and fired so many people that we are working with a skeleton crew and still have a large workload. My husband is starting to worry about my work schedule and being pregnant. I feel very good, but just get tired by the end of the day.<br /><br />Christopher and I are going to get our H1N1 shot today. I have not been able to find anywhere to get them free or cheap, so we have a Dr appointment today to get them. I pray that none of us gets the flu, everyone who has it has been out for at least a week and has felt bad for 2 more.</div></div></div>TheDobbs-MainsFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01373243606179527091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049998363793731497.post-39718782453004902352009-09-18T16:45:00.000-07:002009-09-18T16:57:29.343-07:00Baby on the way<div>Good news --- we are expecting a second baby in April.

Actually, I couldn't see anything. But the Tech promised me there was a baby in there. I did hear the heartbeat.<br /><br /><div>I had another doctor appointment last week (11 weeks) and again heard the heartbeat.</div><br /><div>I have an ultrasound scheduled for Oct 29 - I will be 16 weeks and they may be able to tell the sex of the baby during the ultrasound. We will wait and see.</div><br /><div>Christopher doesn't understand but he know what a baby is... he says "babies cry". He and I were rocking in his room and he tried to climb into my sweater, when I asked what he was doing he said "I am a baby in your belly". He also has told me that he has a baby in his belly, as he rubs his belly. He is too cute. I worry about not giving him enough when I have 2.</div><br /><br /><div></div>TheDobbs-MainsFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01373243606179527091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049998363793731497.post-46578977280748919202009-08-16T06:03:00.000-07:002009-08-16T06:22:49.244-07:00Donn Snedaker<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiis6EC5eRNwod3wy6h_8ZQvhnBalMaYG1rcBAFnC54ZuOBO6HD7_gb_V_AgZX8qhKFrgoETzTCdQUnhbOX25o2ffc5f13_d5dhHjeLdfwifk3qKU9nBkOJNm_saw8lC9kP9qw-q2KcF2x8/s1600-h/snedeker.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5370550987578153298" style="WIDTH: 233px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiis6EC5eRNwod3wy6h_8ZQvhnBalMaYG1rcBAFnC54ZuOBO6HD7_gb_V_AgZX8qhKFrgoETzTCdQUnhbOX25o2ffc5f13_d5dhHjeLdfwifk3qKU9nBkOJNm_saw8lC9kP9qw-q2KcF2x8/s320/snedeker.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>We have had a difficult few weeks. Our friend Donn Snedaker passed away. Sned was like a Father to Tony and a Grandpa to Christopher. Christopher was named after Sned. </div><br /><div>Sned was a teacher at our school for 32 years. He taught Tony, Me, all my siblings, my nieces and nephews. I truelly believe that no child accidently ended up in his classroom. He accepted the kids that needed extra help; educationally and emotionally.</div><br /><div>I have been giving and doing philanthropic deeds forever, but I feel like I am not doing enough. Tony and I have sponosred 4 orphans for the last 5 years. All are out of the orphanage and have graduated vocational training. We have sent Christmas gifts to hundereds of kids in the orphanages each year. We sent blankets, sheets and coats to every child in one orphanage. We give food to the food panty, give toys to the daycare but am searching for a way to fill my philanthropic void.</div><br /><div>Sned helped kids much deeper than what we do, I want to be like him. </div>TheDobbs-MainsFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01373243606179527091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049998363793731497.post-40406847711084493342009-07-23T18:23:00.000-07:002009-07-23T18:43:48.619-07:00Slip N SlideWe had a fun cookout with some Alpha Phi sisters -- Christopher played on a slip n slide.

Tony had been telling me he would cut it, and I had been holding off. I gave in and Tony used the clippers on all of Christopher's curls and blond locks. I almost had tears when all the hair started falling to the floor. Tony stopped during the first swipe to see if I was OK, but I said You can't stop now. Tony was joking with my nephew Rodney, telling him it was his turn. Rodney jumped onto the stool - so Tony buzzed him too.

The little boys liked a few of the small fireworks but would not look up in the air to see the larger ones. </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKbMrWwgFxynKBXCXI3URnkVpxJ8tFCZd53APMKglnDZa7ZucAJf7hzF0uCnrusbwCFlSAyZAtJIKiLHxfB6aL1p3AnaJA19u1bEpPpbZAhSGIu4LEU6Z4kNRqH2zsqOmwBy7Q7Dg10Qi0/s1600-h/5414_227326040523_500240523_7680640_4139713_n.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357244014160087714" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKbMrWwgFxynKBXCXI3URnkVpxJ8tFCZd53APMKglnDZa7ZucAJf7hzF0uCnrusbwCFlSAyZAtJIKiLHxfB6aL1p3AnaJA19u1bEpPpbZAhSGIu4LEU6Z4kNRqH2zsqOmwBy7Q7Dg10Qi0/s320/5414_227326040523_500240523_7680640_4139713_n.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Christopher and Leo play so well together.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2l8AIb9qu4iiAW1RhAQ56FThLHKlZd5jnAwNjiaNeu7pQZKWr9Vvb8wm4QfO7k3EnudXftug_EXtoVbHpUfddXPry9VaIXsRNTXjU4E-Xv2r5Xx8Gbz-2dWQa5njUgscuuDAWS7CJXjQ/s1600-h/100_2683.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5357240519459598866" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2l8AIb9qu4iiAW1RhAQ56FThLHKlZd5jnAwNjiaNeu7pQZKWr9Vvb8wm4QfO7k3EnudXftug_EXtoVbHpUfddXPry9VaIXsRNTXjU4E-Xv2r5Xx8Gbz-2dWQa5njUgscuuDAWS7CJXjQ/s320/100_2683.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Christopher made this "4th of July" shirt at school. </div></div></div></div>TheDobbs-MainsFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01373243606179527091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049998363793731497.post-88551261926343230682009-06-20T05:08:00.000-07:002009-06-20T05:21:03.385-07:00Christopher's first Reds gameChristopher has seen the Reds at Spring Training but we have not taken him to a game a Great American Ballpark. When I came home from work he was already asking "ballplayers?", "ballgame?". He had a fun time - he ate 2 hot dogs and a bag of popcorn and drank a soda. I wanted to get him some peanuts but I was afraid he would puke. Those 3 things (hot dogs, popcorn and peanuts) are his favorite foods.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAyNzCrF8JUWBvL6BrHAXQw7EQQQzLYfZ-56L5iY38tcuGXSwv-HFJ2up-je0-o1sKh3A1NVXftmeadVNwaA7W4O3AubraZmg-HAm_z6DKALUdVXED-VI22Uw5gR9cisMlFozoA8zfPByy/s1600-h/0619091832.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349382513605004354" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAyNzCrF8JUWBvL6BrHAXQw7EQQQzLYfZ-56L5iY38tcuGXSwv-HFJ2up-je0-o1sKh3A1NVXftmeadVNwaA7W4O3AubraZmg-HAm_z6DKALUdVXED-VI22Uw5gR9cisMlFozoA8zfPByy/s320/0619091832.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNMoSjmA4RZ_5VowMU6X11EKRJdSM6D8d8RxbHsZsdks6C7D815D0zbQJctoquTSEqRN0rQW7A8n2sKBtjpNbEh9iNcbEXK2q2iSrx06lcn8xd3a5qvYRQaWQ3Ik70RKeAqZrWMHNY0sH/s1600-h/0619091831.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5349382455576781762" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBNMoSjmA4RZ_5VowMU6X11EKRJdSM6D8d8RxbHsZsdks6C7D815D0zbQJctoquTSEqRN0rQW7A8n2sKBtjpNbEh9iNcbEXK2q2iSrx06lcn8xd3a5qvYRQaWQ3Ik70RKeAqZrWMHNY0sH/s320/0619091831.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div> After the 4th inning we walked around and he saw the river with the boats --- another exciting site.

He is getting so big. He probably weighs 40 lbs. It was becoming difficult to pick him up to put him in bed. He has been eating like a machine lately - so I expect him to have another growth spurt. <br /><br />He has slept in the bed without issue, he does have a safety rail. The first night I heard him crying and all I could think was he is stuck between the safety rail and the bed... I rushed in his room.... he just wanted chocolate milk. I worry about him all the time. <br /><br />He woke up early today, I could hear him on the monitor "Momma, hold you! Momma, hold you!" So at 4 this morning, I went and held him and we rocked. He said he was scared. He has been telling me lately that he is scared of stuff. I don't know if he was really understands this concept, or if he knows that "scared concept" gets attention. <br /><br />I held him, even after he fell asleep. He looked so sweet and precious sleeping. I held him until he began turning and rolling because he is outgrowing my lap. Other nights, He has asked me to put him in bed after a few minutes of holding because it is too hard for him to become comfortable on my lap any longer. It is bittersweet to watch him grow so quickly. He is such an angel.TheDobbs-MainsFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01373243606179527091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049998363793731497.post-7898733240283129702009-05-29T06:38:00.000-07:002009-05-30T08:01:51.084-07:00More May stuffMothers day --- We bought me a new stroller for Mothers Day.

Angela cut it for us. The back was growing a little wild and over his ears. He did very good. I can't believe he is 2 years old and this is his first one. But I guess I didn't have much hair either until I was 3 years old.<br />We went to my moms this weekend for Maggie's 7th birthday party. After the cake we cut Christopher and Coopers hair. <br /><br />Christopher was suppose to get his 2 year pictures taking this weekend - but he got a busted lip at daycare on Friday. So I am going to hold off on the pictures until it heals up.<br /><br />Last night - Christopher had his first real nightmare. He was screaming for Momma because something "got his foot". Usually when he yells for me at night - I will wait because he falls back asleep and I don't even have to go into his room. Last night, even when I was in his room, he did not want to get back in the bed and wanted the light on. Finally, 3 hours later I think he went to sleep - with a flashlight. Tony bought him a shake flashlight - so it requires no batteries. Great investment. <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2qzVZ0DRlU0jfWBL3UPBlVXOtG4-WZXbpPn-NgZyDvTPxY0msd8P2TtuvwZ0WRm5CgMdT_CF5JerI56KmGuEB_O0sm8U-a9dEE2tdCRJByNCV1yp1zzyhWzTxrbWCCt07DW8BDS18oA4m/s1600-h/christpher+haircut+3.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306005112639752402" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 241px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2qzVZ0DRlU0jfWBL3UPBlVXOtG4-WZXbpPn-NgZyDvTPxY0msd8P2TtuvwZ0WRm5CgMdT_CF5JerI56KmGuEB_O0sm8U-a9dEE2tdCRJByNCV1yp1zzyhWzTxrbWCCt07DW8BDS18oA4m/s320/christpher+haircut+3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6jYg5RmiFfJskDWRb1MwLA1IGQt4eNzdo_P-1iRce7MgjYXTN7tZUaf9h1mQESoaKY5WJDc9xYJ6SgoxjqhguSxxohRrYBufenVr99aB-q3_pi4SBY8fsDm1x_L13Or44etcHElzM-AM/s1600-h/christopher+haircut+4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306005040639292882" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 241px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT6jYg5RmiFfJskDWRb1MwLA1IGQt4eNzdo_P-1iRce7MgjYXTN7tZUaf9h1mQESoaKY5WJDc9xYJ6SgoxjqhguSxxohRrYBufenVr99aB-q3_pi4SBY8fsDm1x_L13Or44etcHElzM-AM/s320/christopher+haircut+4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiWq4DSQqG5Lp9vP6pEQt1ZqU_XhzF8L0xd4daMkazryAaXQBZ2SbsAJmrglWC0Aa36srmvDbI8MuYqsBm5jzurwJJnExtMu-tdgcj13ba1MLR0cMGRT3Yxa5BjTsy20GPUQkqocOuIsyr/s1600-h/christopher+haircut+2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306004877542755266" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 241px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiWq4DSQqG5Lp9vP6pEQt1ZqU_XhzF8L0xd4daMkazryAaXQBZ2SbsAJmrglWC0Aa36srmvDbI8MuYqsBm5jzurwJJnExtMu-tdgcj13ba1MLR0cMGRT3Yxa5BjTsy20GPUQkqocOuIsyr/s320/christopher+haircut+2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkC9U2yvcpUM_ED9zgjoy8PG4J83vscwJAIoity5dLOa42w9fVKxpzb2ovvx-jN64hHnFIwgXPE_-uI44WpBADmgsBWBfpKmdvSxy3iY73TdNNkLpBZTjhvILJ1qkLzWR93eXAk4rprqp/s1600-h/christopher+haircut+1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306004785542900610" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 241px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrkC9U2yvcpUM_ED9zgjoy8PG4J83vscwJAIoity5dLOa42w9fVKxpzb2ovvx-jN64hHnFIwgXPE_-uI44WpBADmgsBWBfpKmdvSxy3iY73TdNNkLpBZTjhvILJ1qkLzWR93eXAk4rprqp/s320/christopher+haircut+1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>TheDobbs-MainsFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01373243606179527091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049998363793731497.post-945920314940795242009-01-25T11:58:00.000-08:002009-01-25T12:28:11.353-08:00January 2009New Year Eve -- I had to take 20 photos to get one that they words are readable.

He had so much fun at his party. We went in the pool for only a few minutes and then he was done with that. He liked to just run around since the play area is so open. </div><div>For those that didn't make it to the Bday party -- I will give you a play by play...... I tried to have a little bit of a cowboy theme since he loves horse, cows and Elmos wild wild west. I know all the words to Elmo's wild wild west - we watch it 10 times a day.<br /><br />We made Wanted posters of the kids that were guests to the party - super cute. I had to come up with many clever names and reasons that they were Wanted. That pushed my creative side. Angela bought him a super cake that looked like cowboy hat from her friend JK. I have photos attached and her web page. I have to say that if you are in the market for a cake - she did a great job. And it tasted so good that I dreamed about cake - and woke up at 6am to eat a piece of it - them went back to bed ---no joke.</div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg08u6rhI_cuZyyGoshCNtfXt6BaFKgLof859eQu1NCXz0oFRA16ZOQMqZo062eoY4v1EFw0SWvywSPv0bD3of3JoUX_cCFyN4yXE_-Tahp6OLppVx2ZKht_pmKWLgJSLRTq2-_AWOqmsGN/s1600-h/100_2319.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295327098056073186" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg08u6rhI_cuZyyGoshCNtfXt6BaFKgLof859eQu1NCXz0oFRA16ZOQMqZo062eoY4v1EFw0SWvywSPv0bD3of3JoUX_cCFyN4yXE_-Tahp6OLppVx2ZKht_pmKWLgJSLRTq2-_AWOqmsGN/s320/100_2319.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div>Yes this is ALL cake -- everything was edible except the Star.</div><div><br /><div><a href="http://www.encoredessertsandmore.com/">http://www.encoredessertsandmore.com/</a></div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheMYupQoLig95uMrQEvVyvi4rytOxByhNnZtFAWpOgxh1yt4FMCoIhiw9ZoeL1C_tdwQZPioj727z8mprC3IeTCURPXp9pbe0nGXg1Z24yYDFYMchG3-382tSzq-GUEzL6jNAm2ZoXsCez/s1600-h/100_2347.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295327878217858514" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheMYupQoLig95uMrQEvVyvi4rytOxByhNnZtFAWpOgxh1yt4FMCoIhiw9ZoeL1C_tdwQZPioj727z8mprC3IeTCURPXp9pbe0nGXg1Z24yYDFYMchG3-382tSzq-GUEzL6jNAm2ZoXsCez/s320/100_2347.jpg" border="0" /></a> My little boy is 40" tall!

So Tony wanted to set up the fish tank for him. He was a little afraid of it until we actually put fish in it. Last night we went to the pet store to buy some fish. It took us 2 hrs to pick pout 10 fish. We wanted to start with just a few in case he decides fish are not so much fun. When he woke up this morning - he said "Fish.. Fish Fish" -- so we went and sat on the floor and watched them swim around. We tried to name the fish but he calls them all "Fish". <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiwXpOut5v1A6lsazCyxSHiy6YqA5Q4CQlopxpFuWYezLhSIcCeytdDKJxd9t7hkEFviW2WdpuE7jS3PkWQO4z0njgXo-2xN0CZY8KYG-MP2uOuvbjy4Kqp_C0I9bb4kTh262ZyvjGA59X/s1600-h/100_22851.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285594678344117090" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 260px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgiwXpOut5v1A6lsazCyxSHiy6YqA5Q4CQlopxpFuWYezLhSIcCeytdDKJxd9t7hkEFviW2WdpuE7jS3PkWQO4z0njgXo-2xN0CZY8KYG-MP2uOuvbjy4Kqp_C0I9bb4kTh262ZyvjGA59X/s320/100_22851.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />The beginning of the toy room with the fish tank. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK3i_4tgb5TDwqSicwTUVhX_QjQcj0TmaJu8vPppgOQdONDa0VbWyBgA9y36G3BLjaeGtanQjp3FLrL7WJM6XRvq3ycaF6FTgjc00XX93y-8azzNpT4V3TGB__pvxSL19RsKVreioKjPJI/s1600-h/100_22841.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285594503198087026" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 214px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiK3i_4tgb5TDwqSicwTUVhX_QjQcj0TmaJu8vPppgOQdONDa0VbWyBgA9y36G3BLjaeGtanQjp3FLrL7WJM6XRvq3ycaF6FTgjc00XX93y-8azzNpT4V3TGB__pvxSL19RsKVreioKjPJI/s320/100_22841.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div>TheDobbs-MainsFamilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01373243606179527091noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5049998363793731497.post-7218203923484188742008-12-26T12:10:00.000-08:002008-12-26T12:24:55.647-08:00The day after....<div>Christmas day was super busy - we visited some family and had others come to our house - Christopher had so much fun - he is starting to be a little shy - so it took him about an hour at each house before he would let go of my leg.

(I need to go through the old toys and donate some.) He really liked the trucks, cars and tractors more than I expected him too. He played with all of the other kids and liked having them around - but not too close. Grandma has a big doll house with a barn - so he had fun putting the horse in the bath tub and moving all the furniture through the house.

His daycare led Santa to the holiday shop on the square. He liked the firetruck and eating the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">candycane</span>. He didn't notice Santa but there was a man dressed in a giant dog suit - for <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Arrons</span> Rental - he thought he was pretty cool (from a distance). One of the daycare mothers brought the kids Santa hats. Again I thought he was too little and wouldn't want one -- until he kept saying "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Mamma</span>.. hat.. <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Mamma</span>.. hat". So that forced me to be a little social and go talk to the other mother to get my kid a Santa hat. I made Christopher wear a toboggan underneath of his because it was freezing standing outside. Christopher loves his holiday hat and has worn it everyday since. The 2<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">nd</span> picture is Saturday morning.<br /><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy2tGU6FKRJ8o9EEgv-T9aDoizB2v2k6oekwVQe4SqnoE6rw6VE0fqkKBnaLpa6k3WWIKVgczH7KRde-jxjs6L_oMBs_Kos2sMl_58jy_SCZ5KZ1k5F97R44WUqWfKruXeHIlfWfWT8zJ2/s1600-h/100_2168.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274391598283297538" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy2tGU6FKRJ8o9EEgv-T9aDoizB2v2k6oekwVQe4SqnoE6rw6VE0fqkKBnaLpa6k3WWIKVgczH7KRde-jxjs6L_oMBs_Kos2sMl_58jy_SCZ5KZ1k5F97R44WUqWfKruXeHIlfWfWT8zJ2/s320/100_2168.jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHP87TcUSTSLJRDgyYlq9rh0gVthRpDonGLU0s0h01d258qxNLBuBkah84C77J-Byx77p-DBSOieaiZZ6bPv0NyP5EY71LrCC6nhqZhuLh7USC0jJC2piSYPB-WbqURIspubztlu5RD_OH/s1600-h/100_2172.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274392084799746162" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHP87TcUSTSLJRDgyYlq9rh0gVthRpDonGLU0s0h01d258qxNLBuBkah84C77J-Byx77p-DBSOieaiZZ6bPv0NyP5EY71LrCC6nhqZhuLh7USC0jJC2piSYPB-WbqURIspubztlu5RD_OH/s320/100_2172.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /></div><div>The great thing about having a child is that I can force my opinion on him for a few years.
