Ahhh, the year of the OX is here at last! This is my first post without pictures - I find that I rely on pictures to make things more interesting and cuter. However, I'm soooo tired and behind on everything I thought I could take a different approach. Sabrina is teething and I think that I want to cry more than she does. I have spent the last few weeks sleeping with her on the couch because she fusses all night and cries if I set her in her crib. If Anthony wasn't in school and we didn't share walls with neighbors I might let her cry a bit more in her crib for the sake of my back. Ah well, she is still cute and I still love her...I just wish I could pull those teeth out myself sometimes.
I kind of missed New Years for putting up a post and making goals for myself so I am grateful that the Chinese have a new year of their own that I can claim when things are a bit too crazy at the beginning of January. Tonight we will have Chinese food and I will seriously think on the things that I need to improve on this year as I drift off to la la land while watching Baby Einstein or Pooh Bear. Good Times!
So, January can get kind of yucky for me...February is a much better winter month in my opinion, maybe it's because I've dealt with the fact that the holidays are over and spring is right around the corner. We decided to try and make the last day of January a little brighter by having our own little beach day. We were able to squeeze Bri into last year's swimsuit (so that she could at least wear it once) and gave her a try at the big bathtub...she still prefers her small tub. We then went to the aquarium where Sabrina totally freaked out at the trout and Utah fish, she hated them - I don't know why they scared her and the sharks didn't but she loved all the tropical fish. Splashing in the water and crawling through the rocks were probably the highlight for her. Overall, I would say that we had success in making a cheery day for ourselves - it might become a January tradition.
