Jammies

It's funny. I loved pyjamas with feet on Tabetha. When she was tiny, I even went out and found a pair of little pants with feet so that when she was wearing little dresses I didn't have to worry about her chubby little ankles getting cold. As far as I was concerned, Tabby was going to wear pyjamas with feet. I was going to send her off to university with a supply. I mean, I knew she'd want jammas without feet eventually... maybe sometime after being elected to the house of commons, getting married, and being the first woman on Mars.

But in the last month or so she has start freaking out when things are on her feet. She has these overalls with blousy legs, and if her feet go in and she can't see them, she completely freaks out.

Plus, she's outgrown the largest size of Pekkle footed jammies from Costco...

So now, Tabetha has NO jammies with feet.

And I am sad.

Catch up, another long weekend, and Tabby's first trip to the lake

Highlights of the weekend:

Tabby cruising around the party stealing bites of everyone's food, from hamburgers to wasabi quinoa salad
Tabby wandering around with sidewalk chalk marking everything (and everyone) in her path
Tabby catching the remote control car and dragging it back to the bbq, like every proud hunter
Tabby staying home with grampa Gord and grama Jo while mommy and daddy went to Filberg festival and bought her presents
Tabby's first splash in McIvor lake
BBQ on the foreshore in the glorious sunshine

and the lowlight of the weekend:

Tabetha vomiting in the car while on the highway
Tabetha vomiting in the car while on the highway - again

Things are going well here. Tabetha has two new words (Daddy, book) and has learned to use inflection to ask questions - so now? everything she babbles? is in the form of a question? Yes! Tabetha is now ready to be a contestant on Jeopardy!
