Home for the holidays
Well, it looks like no one will be joining us for Thanksgiving or Christmas this year. We were going to have guests for Thanksgiving who will not make it now, and my invite to Matt's mom for Christmas was declined (sniff...sniff), so it looks like it's just the immediate family for both.
It's not like we have a whole lot of room, so maybe it's for the best. I still can't help being a little sad.
Nikolai is growing so much, and so fast. His vocabulary has grown so much that it's very rare that his sentences are unintelligible or incomplete now. Even when he's not sure exactly how to construct the sentence he says the beginning of it 8 or 9 times while he figures out what the rest of the sentence is supposed to be. It's a little painful to endure, but still very sweet to see that he's making a concerted effort to complete his sentences.
We bought Herbie: Fully Loaded over the weekend. Oh man...I've had enough Lindsay Lohan to last a few lifetimes. Not that I don't like her, she's great. I've enjoyed her in almost every movie she's done. But after about the 47th time, she gets a little too old. Her boobs get a little too big...her waiste gets a little too thin. Nikolai, on the other hand, is totally in love with Herbie. Every time there's a scene with the people building plot he says "where's Herbie??". We should re-cut the movie with only the Herbie parts in it. We've named the yellow car that Herbie falls in love with Esmerelda. It's great to hear him try to say it. For a while he called her "zelda", but I think it's actually graduated to something that more resembles the actual name now.
