This weekend we made Turkey cookies! (No, Aunt Linda, there isn't turkey bits in the cookies.) Thought it would be a fun project with Camryn and we got mom to participate. Turns out she got a new fancy mixer and was all too eager to use it. All we needed to mix was food coloring with white icing (since we used the pre-made cookie dough), but that was enough. Hope it was worth it mom...LOL!
Yesterday, at Sunday school they started talking about the Christmas story to Camryn's group. They're practicing a Christmas song, and all she said ALL day was "Baby Jesus is born." Over and over and over. There was some tune to it, but couldn't make anything out consistently, and then at the end she would act like she was rocking a baby with her arms. So funny. Even at bed time, she was yelling it out loud. Poor thing gets her singing ability (or lack of) from me.
Cam is challenging us a bit more lately. We've had to bust out the extra dose of discipline with her. She spend her first entire evening in her room last week. And she's been dangerously close to losing shows for not listening and toys from not picking up after herself. I guess she knows we'll follow through so threatening it and then counting to 5 seems to do it. I wonder how long that tactic will work. Craig suggested we get some type of see through box where we put anything she's left out at night into it and she has to see it in there for an entire week before she can play with it again. That's so mean! Although probably would work better than just putting the toy up someplace. Because while that would bother her for a bit, pretty soon it becomes out of site, out of mind, and the whole lesson you're trying to teach is lost.
