Sydney Stories
Winter is quickly approaching here. It's been on the chilly side for a couple weeks now. But we do have two days this week where we're supposed to have decent weather. Sandwiched in between more rainy days.
Anyway, here as some fun Sydney stories for your amusement.
Sydney likes to pretend to cook. She grabs things out of the pantry and pretends to pour them into various bowls and cups. She has a set of plastic measuring cups Mommy gave her to play with. She also has a plastic flour sifter. Along with various decorative bowls and some baskets around the house at an easily reached level, she has plenty of things to pretend to cook with.
Sunday Anne made some soup for lunch. While she was making that Sydney wanted to be picked up to see. So Anne picked her up. Sydney then proceeded to run around pretending to make soup, too. One of the things she used was a Ziploc bag from the pantry. We keep various small packets in it, mainly from fast food places: Arby's sauce, Taco Bell taco sauce, red pepper packets from Pizza Hut and the like. So Sydney "poured" those into her soup.
On Saturday while we were out shopping and running errands we got Sydney a cute new winter hat. It's pink with a poof on top, two ears flaps and tassels with poofs that hang down from the ear flaps.
Sydney's New Hat (As of this posting, YouTube hasn't finished processing this video. They give a URL that will apparently be the page of the video, but I can't pull it up to embed it since there is no video to embed. Hopefully they'll finish processing it soon and get it up so you can watch it. If it's not there by Monday evening I'll delete it and try again.)
Sydney has a habit of putting her new hat on backward. (The cut out area between the flaps is narrower, making it frame her face in a smaller area.) Sometime after lunch on Sunday Anne and I were discussing something and Sydney came up behind Anne. She had her hat on.
I looked at Sydney and said, "you have your hat on backward, silly."
Anne chuckled and grabbed the poof on top of the hat. She yanked it up so she could turn it around the right way. When she pulled the hat off Sydney's head a bunch of the small packets Sydney had been cooking with fell out and rained down on her. Anne and I started laughing so hard we couldn't stop for a couple minutes.
(That story can never be as good when told as it was to see it. I'm sorry. There is just no way to do it proper justice.)
Sydney has a cute new outfit (a few weeks old now) that is purple, has Minnie Mouse on it, and has a hood.
The first time I put it on her I pulled the hood up on her head. She didn't like that and pulled it off. I made her go in our bedroom and look at it in our mirror. While she was admiring her outfit I pulled the hood up again. She completely changed. She apparently thought the hood was the greatest thing ever.
She stood there for several minutes looking in the mirror and pulling it up and pulling it down. When she got tired of that she pulled me into the guest bedroom. She made me pick her up so she could see herself in the small little decorative mirror up on the wall in there.
And here's a another video of Sydney.
Also, surprise, surprise, Sydney has outgrown her slippers from last winter. So we had to find new ones this year. Guess what she picked out?
The funny thing is that the slippers apparently bother her feet. The way they are put together there is a seam or something that bothers her foot or toe in at least one of the slippers. So unless she has socks on she won't put them on.
We might be buying her new slippers again.
And, just for posterity, here's one last video of Sydney. This is the very first video I took of Sydney on my cell phone. This was before I had the video card, but it was my phone wallpaper up until I set the hat video for it.
