He woke up this morning and remembered to say "Bunny Bunny" first thing. I don't know what the story behind that is, but Kade said his teacher told him doing that will give him good luck for the whole month. This is the first month where he actually remembered to say it at the right time, so he is convinced it will work.
Kade's 8th birthday is tomorrow. It's also popcorn day and crazy hair day at school, which makes it even more fun! Jeremy and I will bring birthday treats to school in the afternoon. Kade gets to choose where we'll have dinner, and he's very excited for presents and cake, and a family birthday party on Sunday!
His wish of becoming a big brother will also come true this month. As long as baby isn't too overdue, he'll be born within the next few weeks!
Kade also loves it when we get out the Advent Calendar on December 1st! I made this one last year:
Each little matchbox compartment holds a small chocolate. I'm also doing something new this year to go along with the Advent Calendar. I got a bunch of Christmas books from around the house, the thrift store, and the used book store, and wrapped them all individually, labeling them from 1-24. Kade will get to unwrap the book that corresponds with the number (the date) on the Advent Calendar, and we'll read the book before bed. I love Christmas books!
One last good thing (well definitely not the last, but the last one I'll mention right now!) about December is that Kade got through the entire month of November without getting a fever! That may not seem like such a big deal, but for Kade and his medical issues, it's huge!! It's been months...and months... since he's gone so long without getting a fever. He is so happy and proud of himself for staying healthy. I hope we can keep it going throughout the rest of the year!
Yay!!! This does sound like an exciting month... I love the calendar idea, where did you get the matchboxes from? I'm thinking we are going to do the book idea next year, awesome! I can't wait until Kade is a big brother as well, haha! I'm also interested in the story behind the bunny, bunny thing... funny kid!
ReplyDeleteMiriah, I got the matchboxes from Albertsons, I think. It was just $1 for a pack of 10 mini matchboxes! The book idea is turning out to be really fun... half of the books, I got from the thrift store, because I didn't have 24 Christmas books already. But some of them are kind of "meh.." so this year I'm going to keep my eye out for some really good ones and trade them out! :)
