Dora then and Dora now... (this one is for you Katie)

Just so you can see the Dora nightgown is still around and still fits--- well, that is debateable. the poor nightgown has seen better days, but Kylie refuses to give it up... :)

Dora Mania

The Dora following is not just Kylie anymore-- its spread to the whole house. We are stuck with Dora for a long time I think.

Dora Update

Just in case all of you wanted to know... the DORA nightgown given to Kylie by a friend of mine, its been worn almost everyday since it was received... so we are looking at, about 8 times in the last 10 days.

In fact, last night we were in tears because Kylie thought it was dirty and she was not going to be able to wear it.... oh man.... but luckily, it was clean and available for wearing. Otherwise, I am not sure if we would have made it last night. It would have been a total disaster--- almost as big as this financial mess the economy is in.

So, ease your minds and know that Kylie has her Dora gown is clean and waiting for her to wear it tonight.

Thanks for worrying about our Dora drama, we appreciate it... Buenos Noches friends!

Dora, Dora, Dora

Oh lord are we sick of Dora in this house--- I guess I should say, Chris and Amanda are sick of Dora. Kylie and Shay would be lost without Dora. (Anika doesn't seem to care because lone behold she stops for one minute to do anything).




We recently retired a wonderful Dora pajama set. Kylie called it her "Dancing Dora" pjs. A dear friend gave those to us when she came by to help me with the twins. This must have happened in March. These wonderful "Dancing Dora" pj's were about two sizes too small come September and not to mention, the weather is colder and there is no longer need to wear shorts and short sleeves to bed (well, the majority of the time in Sept.). Now mind you, these pjs fit in March perfectly. This child has grown like a weed these past 5 months and when she tried to squeeze into these wonderful pj's it looked like it hurt. Chris and I were to excited to finally "retire" these pajamas without any fight from Kylie (she constantly thinks they are dirty and we are just so far behind on laundry, that it will take awhile).



Then another dear friend (Katie) came by with her son(Charlie) and miraculously knew it was Kylie's 3rd birthday in August and that she LOVED Dora.. (And BTW Katie, totally unnecessary on the gift).. Anyhow, Kylie opens her gift and its a DORA nightgown and a DORA Halloween book. And she LOVES it!!!! Just when Chris and I thought we were ahead of the game, then comes along another curve ball! But, like we say, its all about the kids and keeping them happy. Sometimes you just have to let them win.... Check out the lovely picture below...

And Santa's list, you guessed it... so far its ever DORA item you can find. Kylie says, "mom/dad I want that. I know, who do I have to ask? Santa, I know."

For those of you die-hard DORA fans, she has a new dance party album available on Itunes-- check it out. It will only make you lose brain cells after the first couple songs.. "Oh MAN!"
