We Need Your Vote!

July 21st, 2011 by Aubri

Each year we receive a message that requests a baby picture for the Lutheran’s For Life Baby Photo Contest. The photo will be displayed in a booth at our County Fair in August. The rules state that:

The picture must have been taken within the last year- August 2010 to July 2011

It can include babies up to 30 months of age by August 4, 2011.

Contest winners will receive a $25 savings bond. (Woot!) (I added that part.)

We’ve never entered but decided to try it this year. I’m having a hard time deciding which pictures to submit. Clara and Gerhardt qualify, Lily is too old.

Counting Down

July 20th, 2011 by Aubri

Lily knows her birthday is in July, she just doesn’t understand that it’s at THE END of July poor thing. Since Clara’s birthday in June she’s been asking if “today is her birthday”. How do you explain to a two year old that she still has to wait three weeks, two weeks, etc?!

It had crossed my mind that I should make her something that she could visually see to tell her how much longer she had to wait like I did for Easter, but I hadn’t gotten around to it. Talking to my brother (the smart one, not the awesome one) on the phone Monday he suggested a chain countdown, like the ones you made in school before Christmas.

Of course! I really like this one here that I was keeping in mind for Christmas and other holidays, but hadn’t I thought of using it for birthdays. Until NOW! I made a quick one with construction paper for Lily to use now, but I think I’ll get some fun fabric soon and make another one to use next time.

Any of you have ways to help littles deal with “how much longer”?

The Birthday Fairy

July 20th, 2011 by Aubri

In July the Birthday Fairy visits my family in a major way, my extended family I should say. I loose track of how many of us have July birthdays but the ones I do know are MINE, my two OLDER brothers, my cousin (Uncle Weslie), a good friend and I was of course obligated to birth at least one of my babies during this month, so Lily who will be three on the 28th (!). Monday was my birthday.

Happy Ice Cream Day!

July 17th, 2011 by Aubri

Definitely something I would make up, but really, today is National Ice Cream Day. Thank you Ronald Reagan! So, get your celebration on with a big bowl or a 5 scooper!
