Planner

Hi, my name is Becka and I'm a planner.  It's a blessing and a curse.  With a child there is always something to plan for.  I get huge anxiety when things are up in air and so I love a good plan! 

This post was inspired last night when I bought Ava's Christmas dress.  Yes, the holiday that is 70 days away.  I searched the internet and stores for hours trying to find the perfect dress.  I found it, and I slept so good last night afterwards.  (When I put it on her at home to see if it fit, she squealed and gave me a kiss.  I think she likes it!)

I made myself wait until September 1 before I bought Ava's Halloween costume, or should I say Mike made me.  "Are you crazy?  It's August.  You don't need to be thinking about Halloween."  At least Ava will never have to be the kid whose mom is scrambling to throw together a mismatched costume the night before the school Halloween party.  It's a good thing I started early because she did NOT like the first two costumes I bought.  Like went limp to the floor and sobbed kinda dislike.  I'm praying she cooperates with costume number three!

This morning I started searching for the perfect Christmas present for Ava.  Last year we didn't buy her much since she was six months old and was entertained by Tupperware.  Now that she can actually play with toys this year will be exciting!  In my mental shopping cart there is a playhouse for her room and a polka-dot mini rocking chair.  Oozing with cuteness! 

So what do you think...?  Has Christmas crossed your mind like me or are you a last minute gal?
