Lego Nexo Knight Macy! [TOYS]

She wanted me to take a pic of her and her new Lego Nexo Knight figurine, as she was SO excited about it.

I know I had just bought one for her on New Years but here's the thing: I didn't get her much for the holidays. Instead, I made her a 'coupon book' that allows her to get things throughout the year (which I'm hoping will last through next xmas 🙏😅).

My excuse with legos, too, is that it's 'educational'. There are instructions, you follow, you work your fine motor skills, you build and create. 🤓

The package on the right is a free promo item that you get with any Nexo Knight purchase. I've become that mom that knows about these Lego store promotions, you see. Even the staff recognized me and I them. I also know Cartoon Network will begin showing Nexo Knight episodes every weekday at 5:30pm starting tomorrow-- got it all planned out already. 😂

I asked her if Nexo Knights had a theme song but she said no, so I've been replacing the lyrics of Macho Man as appropriate. 🎶

Honestly, I love seeing her level of excitement and enthusiasm. It's what being a kid is all about, isn't it? And it's something we as adults can all learn from. xo

First Selfie Lessons! [MOMLIFE]

Ok, here's what went down. I don't think kids these days really need lessons but...

She woke up from a nap so I had to take a break from working. As I mentioned before, she prefers looking out and discovering now but I can get her to smile only if she makes eye-contact, so I flipped the camera on my phone. 

In large mirrors, she can see me but still has to learn about small screens. In the end, she was more interested in her fist than the screen. Power to her :> xo 

Girl's Winter Jacket! [KID STYLE]

I debuted this jacket in a previous post a few days ago when it was raining but am showing it again in better lighting-- thank you, sun :>

It's blue, her favorite color with polka dots, and we picked it up end of last season as it was on clearance. 

It comes equipped with a generous hood, zipper pockets, and, with most (if not all) H&M kids clothing, a place to write her name-- very nice perk.

The material is slick and can honestly feel cold when it's cold outside but I think the puffiness is what keeps her warm. 

What I like about the jacket is that it isn't too short and the material makes it light and feels like it's pretty easy to clean. 

So far so good. She's been wearing it daily ever since. xo
