Hoarder

Commonly hoarded items

Mark my words, Nori is going to be on Hoarders someday! (BTB, someone from my hometown that I knew was actually on Hoarders and much to my relief it was not my mother, despite her best efforts). My daughter constantly picks up little trinkets, tiny stuffed animals, stickers, beads, pieces of toys (the smaller the better), and carries them around with her, preferably toting in a tiny basket or her ingenious idea, a baby sock! If you try to get her to move into another room, she first must collect ALL of her little things to bring along with her or a meltdown will ensue. At bedtime, we talk her down to just 4 tiny items from her preferred 20. Is this because I held her too much as a baby?

To make matters better, she is getting sick. She was was up from 2:00 a.m.- 4:30 a.m. two nights ago playing in her room, crying, screaming, and finally taking off her nighttime diaper and sitting cross-legged in a pool of her own liquid. "Sorry Daddy, I tinked my bed", she said when Jake found her and bathed in the middle of night while I changed her linens. Oh child. In the morning I asked her how Daddy felt last night and she replied "not happy". Good thing she is so adorable.

I have not been feeling so well myself so not much is getting done, but we have full weekend ahead so i better snap out of it! I am really excited for the holidays this years so I can't wait to do some Christmas shopping and decorating! What are you excited about?
