We finally made it out in all the hustle and bustle for a little bit of Christmas shopping Friday. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought but took a lot longer in each store when you have two little ones to tote around with you. Neither Kurt or I got grumpy at each other, Landen and Amelia were excellent, and we won $50.00 in Gordman bucks! Woo hoo! We got a lot of stuff for family, a little bit for Landen and what other odds and ends we needed. I can't say to much, because family reads this (anyway I think they do) and I don't want to give anything away. =)
I found a children's nativity for Landen. The people are finger puppets and it came with the the stable (that sings), angel, wise men, shepard, some animals, Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and it all velcros up so it doesn't get lost. Landen's been having lots of fun with it.
Before we left that morning Kurt found the pacifiers that we had from Landen (that he didn't use) and decided to see if Amelia would try it. Sure enough she took right too it.. I wasn't exactly happy about it, but we decided to have one in the car in case of emergency use. A lot of times if I can't stop I'll just let her have my pinky (yuck I know) but with it being flu season and being out in the stores I didn't want to do that. So we brought it along. Well we ended up using it in the stores - every time I looked down at her it made me feel bad. Something was actually pacifying her and it wasn't me. I really don't like pacifiers either, I have absolutely no problem if other people use them, but I don't want my children using them. As soon as we got home it disappeared - I really have no idea where it is. Kurt probably did something with it because Landen was in love with it (strange child) and he knew I didn't like Amelia having it. It's a good emergency usage for the car though. I know I'd give it to her in the house if it was around instead of just taking time out to nurse and let her suckle. =/
Not much more on shopping - of course we have more to do and I have to go back soon to use my $50 Gordman Bucks!

Oh my gosh! I love you! lol.
I feel the EXACT same way about pacifiers. Most people don't get and want to know "what is the problem?"
It makes me feel sad and guilty to see something else, some PLASTIC thing, soothing my baby while that it solely my job for such a short period of time.
RANT OVER. lol
Sorry, but I couldn't resist.
I'm sure it WAS better her have that, though, than fingers w/ germs, like you said. ;)
Cute nativity set.
