noodle bead art

This morning Julianna and I pasted noodle beads onto construction paper. You'd be surprised at how much glue we managed to use! It was fun. Here she is posing with her artwork before bedtime tonight.




We are gearing up for a busy stretch here - between family celebrations and work activities, the holidays are full! The fun starts tomorrow night when we host a birthday dinner for Julianna and a local friend - his birthday was the 16th, so we are combining celebrations. We're having make your own mini-pizzas for dinner and cupcakes for dessert. Yum.

We made the cupcakes today and Julianna asked for one at dinnertime. I asked, "when are we going to eat those cupcakes??" In response she sang, "happy birthday Ju-nanna". Which reminds me, she's started referring to herself as Ju-nanna - pretty soon she'll have her entire name down!

She loves to sing and frequently requests, "mommy, Ju-nanna sing songs". Her favorites are "yes Jesus me", "happy know it", "birthday you" and she just became a big fan of "jing jing bells". [the rest of the world refers to those songs as "Jesus loves me", "if you're happy and you know it", "happy birthday" and "jingle bells".]

Who knew you could do so many things with just a few noodles!? Ju-nanna is growing up - her vocabulary is growing by leaps and bounds. It's wonderful that she enjoys singing so much! Love, Mom
