puppets
The girls had a good Christmas. Cordelia didn't really understand the whole gift thing, but she seems to like her new toys. Valerie made out like a bandit.
We have a kitty hand puppet that I bought for Valerie a couple years ago. When I would put that on my hand and "meow" at Cordelia she would get a huge smile, walk over and give it a big hug (removing it from my hand). Since I knew she loved that hand puppet so much, when I saw a set of 4 hand puppets at Costco, I had to get them. On Christmas, I put the sheep puppet on my hand and started having it "baaaaa" at her. She took it from me and started walking around saying "ba, ba, ba". So cute!
Whenever one of us says goodbye or goodnight to Cordelia she responds by blowing kisses.
We've all had this horrible cold recently. Valerie had it first and had a couple rough nights. I had it, but thankfully could take nyquil. Cordelia currently has this horrible sounding cough, mostly at night. Greg also has a horrible cough. I'll be happy when we're all healthy again.
I hit 50 pounds lost just before Christmas. So far I've managed to not gain over the holiday...not that I've lost over that period either. I'm very excited and proud about that. I can now wear non-plus-sized jeans (I've been able to wear XL shirts for a while) and am looking forward to some of the options available to me as I drop another size or two.
