Day #669 (Thu., Nov 3, 2011) – “That Way”
My wife got a bunch of cookie cutters in the mail today. Some were plastic letters and others were metal Christmas cookie cutters. We’re getting ready for the holidays early.
My wife and I are already talking about getting a Christmas tree this year. We are planning on an artificial tree. Considering an 8′ “real” tree will cost anywhere from $60-80 (I’m sure we could get one a lot cheaper if we were willing to drive to the country), an artificial tree is quite the bargain. You can use it year after year and if you get a good one it looks pretty real. You won’t need to take a the life of a hapless tree and clean up after all it’s mess as well.
Our babysitter took Katie out for a stroll today and Katie said “that way” in reference to which direction she wanted to take.
The next question when considering a tree is whether to get one with lights already on it. I vote for “no”. This provides you with the opportunity to decorate it anyway you want.
In one of Katie’s books there is a picture of five white horses. She looks at it and says “five horses” (see photo to the right) so she knows what five is.
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY

1) Katie knows what the number five means.
