It’s Cold!

So it has been super cold here lately so we haven’t done much getting outside.  We (Bo & I) are both going crazy so I’m constantly looking for new things to do…we’ve colored, made forts, played with his blocks, read books, played trains, watched movies, play-doh, I’ve even considered getting out the paint (I’m desperate). So yesterday as I was cleaning his highchair, we are transitioning to a booster seat, I look over and he’s climbed up in a kitchen chair and is having a blast with the boxes that I was about to take out to recycle.  It always ends up this way, maybe next time I’ll just go straight to the garbage and forget the toys!

Yesterday afternoon we did get a little snow.  I have to chuckle a little because with Jarrod being in Indiana and us both living in NJ for a while, it’s so funny to see how everyone panics down in the south.  Growing up we never had snow, what I remember were the horrible ice storms…yes you got out of school, but you had no electricity, no heat, no phone, no tv and I remember all huddling in the den to sleep with a kerosene heater dad had, I can still smell it!  It was fun growing up, but now that I have a little guy who needs things to do I dread the thought of it! 

 

I did let him go outside for a little bit he loved it and kept trying to catch the snow.  The funniest was when he came inside, pointed to his snack cup on the counter, and then went back outside to eat his snack…in the snow!  It snowed more last night and some of our roads are even iced over from such cold temps, but all in all things are good and little man got to see his first snow!

watching it out the window after I finally got him to come inside.  He kept pointing to it saying “no, no…”
