So, as beautiful as Thanksgiving was, it was over in a flash. We welcomed snowflakes in the next days. Not too many stuck, but it was a glimpse of winter. I don’t mind winter – I think it can be beautiful. But with young kids, I struggle with taking them out. You work so hard to bundle them up for such little time out in the cold. I think as they get older and can sled and build snowmen and tolerate the temps a little more, things could change. (But this old woman finds that I can’t stay out as long either!) Regardless, Madison wanted to go play out in the snow, so we did.
Yeah, I know it looks like they are not having fun, but they did smile when I pushed them. It also looks like there was no snow…it wasn’t sticking and the flakes were super small, but from inside you could see it snowing. I will say they are a lot harder to get OUT of the swings when they are bundled up like that – I had to call Jeremy in for back up!
As I as getting myself and Madison undressed, Ellie attempted her Great Escape:
I got to her before she headed down the steps – pretty impressive considering what she was wearing!
Speaking of Ellie, she can pull herself up now – most of the time. And she climbed all the way up the stairs by herself (me trailing behind). I cannot wait til she is up and walking on her own. I think she will enjoy life even more! She seems to be growing up so fast. She is beautiful. My favorite time with her right now is after bath. We get her and Madison dressed for bed on our bed. But before she gets dressed, we let her have some “naked time,” and I think she likes it. She rolls from side to side, dives her head into the mattress, snuggles against my chest, and MOVES. It is cool to watch her move and laugh and be free. If it was legal to post a video or pictures, I would, but I don’t want to cross any lines.
Have a great day and stay warm!
