A Very Blue Day for Sydney

Amy went to Utah yesterday afternoon to go to a wedding, so Sydney has been hanging out with Daddy for the last day and a half. We were a little worried about this because Sydney is just entering a phase where she is really clingy to Amy. She has been screaming her head off lately anytime that Amy has to leave her with Grandma, or even Daddy. Amy was really stressed to leave Sydney in this condition, she was worried that Sydney would just be screaming her head off for two days straight and be traumatized for life. I thought that it would be good to post how today went.



When I gave Sydney breakfast, I put some raisins on her tray, and she ate one, then said "It's candy!!!"





This morning I asked Sydney "What color are you going to wear today?" and she said "um... blue." And that she did. All of her clothes (dress, bloomer, baby legs, socks, coat) were blue.




The only thing that she wore today that wasn't blue was her skull and crossbones hair clip.  I needed to take a shower, so I turned on the xbox so Sydney could watch Mickey Mouse, and when the xbox started up, Sydney looked at the little video in the corner of the screen that shows video from the Kinect sensor (the black box in front of her head), saw me walk by and said "Whoa! It's weird"



 

When I took a shower, Sydney came in and told on Nemesis. She said "Nemesis naughty kitty". I have no clue what Nemesis did, but Sydney had to let me know whatever it was. We then got ready and went to Grandmas house. Grandma sure put Sydney to work so Dada could finish some Christmas presents. Sydney was a really good helper. She helped with all sorts of stuff.

Sydney wanted to play snowball basketball.  I am going to get called a child abuser because I let her go outside without a coat.  This was on purpose.  I really needed to finish making a Christmas present, but she wanted to go outside.  So I thought of a way to maker her think that she didn't want to be out for long.  We were outside for about five minutes, and she said "hands are cold", so my plan worked out perfectly.

We had fun after Sydney's nap also. Overall, Sydney was really happy. The only time she cried was for about ten seconds right when Amy left. Good job, Sydney.
