Our little girl was sweet today. We had so much fun. Papa was definitely her favorite for most of the visit and we were even able to convince her to hand something over that was "kaka" but she insisted on playing with. Oh yeah, I keep forgetting today is Christmas here. She did seem more in the Christmas spirit today. A spent time with all of the typical things but today she found a clothes hamper full of toys. She, of course, decided to unload half of these and only played with two of them. Most of the toys were these little squeaky toys that kinda look like dog toys. They don't use stuffed animals because of the germs so they are what all of the kids in her classroom are always playing with. Her favorites were a doll (big surprise) and chain of shapes that she could take apart and put back together.
She really enjoys mimicing us and today was no exception. I was making a sound like I was straining trying to take apart the chain pieces, and so she started doing it too. Absolutely adorable. A was clearly ready for lunch today, but she did not get fussy or even get impatient. She politely picked up all of the toys and started blowing kisses and waving. We brought her upstairs and she held out her arms for us to take her sweater off, pulled up her sleeves to wash her hands, and she was done with us. Normally this would be hard to take but today, on Christmas, it was just fantastic to see our little girl so happy. When we last saw her, she was politely sitting in her chair at the table, just watching us walk out while she patiently waited for lunch to be served.
