More About Them Reading Together


Happy in the Snow







He's into EVERYTHING

Last week I turned around for 5 seconds and Theo got into the compost and was eating a banana peel caked in coffee grounds. I put him in his high chair with some suitable snack, cleaned up the compost mess and turned around to find him snacking on the table candle.

The First Day of Preschool!

We were supposed to start last week but were a sick house on quarantine. This was more disappointing to the mama than the boy. But he was very happy to wake up yesterday to the news that it was time to go to preschool. Isn't he looking nice in his uniform vest?



And of course the small one came along to the festivities, and is even officially enrolled in the music class at the end of the family preschool morning. No vest required for him.

Lots of Snow!

Last Monday was as close to a blizzard as we've had in a long time.

The boys were also happy about the snow. Sledding, swinging, brushing and shoveling, and playing with Elliot, Jesse and Maya on their Tuesday snow day were all highlights for us. Mama laid in the snow in the sun in her snow-pants and did not mind.
