Yoko OhhhhhNoooooo!

Tonight in the tub (where all of our good convos start) Josie said "Mom do you know that Paul McCartney who sings Dad's favorite Christmas song, is the Paul from The Beatles?!"

After she threw out that tid-bit, I couldn't resist giving her a little more information on the band that she loves. I told Josie that Paul got married this year. I also told her that John was married to Yoko Ono. After they got married, Yoko wanted John all to herself, so he stopped playing and broke up the band. After this big revelation, Josie was in shock. "Yoko OhhhhhNoooo broke up The Beatles. If I was in the band I would just keep playing and not tell Yoko NooooNoooo!" She kept passionately rambling about the above and each time she'd say her name either "OhhhNooo or NoooNooo".

I agree with Josie. It's a big oh-no and no-no that The Beatles broke up.

Happy Holidays!

Look at our happy girl on Christmas night!


Showered at Grandshe's and ready for round 2 of Christmas for the day.


Playing with her Bat Cave.


This month has been a big month for Josie.
  • She attended her first all girl birthday party AND it was also the first time we dropped her off and picked her up when it was done. Josie was adamant that she would go to the door by herself. Billy stood a little bit in the distance and let her walk up the stairs with the gift in hand... good thing I wasn't there. Pretty sure I would have cried!
  • Josie also had a play date for the first time that I dropped her off. Oy!
  • She decided that my birthday needed to have a home beauty spa day. While she may not be a girly girl herself, I was very impressed she was intuitive enough to know that is right up my alley!
  • When she had a cold earlier this month, she told Billy "Dad...even though I am sick, it's a good thing I can still rap!" And followed it up with a little beat box.
  • On the way to school she informed Lane, "I gotta tell you something Lane. Jaime is my boyfriend. But... are you gonna marry me or what?!"
  • Josie was pumped (and so impressed) that Santa knew she preferred boy stuff...So when she got matching unders to her brothers in her stocking it was a huge hit. One of the first things she rattles off that she got from Santa is underwear.
  • Josie continues to be an awesome older sister. She is constantly looking out for her brothers. And for the most part sharing her toys. She tends to have the attitude of "geez, if it means that much to you, you can have it". And then Josie picks up another toy to play...until someone wants that one too. What a trooper.
