That's a (kid sized) car under all that, believe it or not.
1. This morning it was three degrees outside. If I’m going to live somewhere this cold, it should at least be a cute, quaint little mountain ski village. Preferably in a town with really great brew pubs. I know, I know. Blah, blah, blah: weather. Who cares?
2. Leo’s new favorite expression is “I don’t know,” (followed by an exaggerated shrug of the shoulders) which I think dovetails quite nicely with “I’m thinking,” don’t you? He says it a lot now (even when he full well knows) possibly because he knows it cracks me up. He says it clear as a bell, which is particularly exciting to me. We are just swimming in sentences over here and it’s amazing.
3. Leo is usually an “outside guy” in that he is constantly asking to play outside. It’s been so cold and snowy lately he hasn’t asked to (which is fine by me). Yesterday afternoon there was a request to make snow a man. I was feeling uncharacteristically peppy after a 4 p.m. cup of coffee (much needed), so I said, Sure! Out we went and first of all, there is a good two feet of snow in our back yard. And the snow? It’s like confectioner’s sugar. Powdery and wispy and pointless. So instead of making a snowman, Leo just threw snow at the dog and Ellie laughed uproariously. A great time was had by all (except for maybe the dog). And best of all, it was so cold, Leo only last thirty minutes outside.
4. Speaking of snow, here's a video I made a few days after the first Big Storm. Leo was furious because our dog kept taking the snow man's arm (imagine, a dog wanting a stick! Have you ever heard of such a thing?).
5. Leo lost another tooth. Top right. And by lost I mean, once again, lost. As in, never got to give the actual tooth to the tooth fairy. Poor guy. How does this happen? I guess he swallows them? He definitely notices when they are loose. He points to the tooth and says "my tooth!" We wiggle it and sure enough, loose. I think we are one for four: four lost teeth and one actual tooth in our possession to give to the Ms. Fairy.
