Well, I was on a roll with posting more regularly... In the past few weeks, there has been a lot of time visiting my Grandma in the rehab facility, late night homework, and helping W get over his new fear of sleeping. I think we are finally getting to the bottom of what is causing him such anxiety and while all he has really asked is that you sit in the room with him, allowing me a large amount of time to browse pinterest for decor for the home I do not have, clothes from a budget I cannot afford, nursery's for newborns not in my near future, and unrealistic wedding fantasies, it means I do not start my homework until around 9:30 which had become my bedtime.
We have had a few adventures in the past few weeks. I was lucky enough to borrow my buddy Cutie for the day for a play date. W and Cutie had a blast and I was glad to be able to help out the new Momma! I must say it was probably the most quiet play date I have ever been a part of. The boys ate respectfully with no mess or fuss, the toys were shared and picked up, and there was not one outburst, from anyone, for any reason. It was really quite amazing! It is that false sense of reality that tricks parents into thinking, "we could totally have another baby! Look how awesome we are at this!"
Our other adventures have come from the "abundance" of snow. W has become a master at throwing attempting to launch snowballs around the yard.
He loves to shovel the snow off the patio and has actually begun clearing paths on his own. Although he would stay out all day and night if you let him, once our nose looks like Rudolph we head in for a hot cup of soup.
We have been eating a lot of chili in the past month or so and I am delighted to report that my former meat-hating toddler finally tried my chili and on occasion claims to LOVE it, Mommy:1. More to come on some of our winter favorite meals.
I hope everyone is staying warm! Can you believe it is almost time to spring ahead? As much as I love a matching scarf, glove, and hat set I am looking forward to skirts, fresh air, and, knock on wood, a trip to the park.
