Oops, once again I saved a post as a draft and forgot to go back and publish it. Oh well, I'm just going to post it and do a new one too...
So Avery turned one yesterday. She also managed to grace us with two more steps, but wouldn't repeat it. We went to Toys R Us and bought her some birthday gifts with the store credit that we had from returning the "wooden" building set that I had originally bought her. We got her a shape sorter and a stacking train. She really likes them, and unfortunately Riley really likes them too. Of course Riley had to get another Littlest Pet Shop pet. She loves those darn things. We couldn't realistically take Riley to the toy store and not buy her a little toy. That would be cruel. We also got the Hi-Ho Cherry-O boeard game for Riley and we've played it already. Riley won twice. She really enjoys the game. This whole buying toys for Christmas versus birthday thing is really hard to figure out. Why did we have two children both so close to Christmas? Alas...
And I totally forgot about the Waldorf doll kit that I started to make for a Christmas gift for Riley. Doh. Hopefully I can still get it done. It's not really the doll that I'm worried about, it's making the clothes to go with it. I have tons of leftover fabric from quilting, but I don't look forward to working in such small scale. Ugh. And they probably want me to use elastic or something else devilish, or maybe buttonholes. Argh.
