In the process

[newmama]

It is a snowday today! My school district took forever to announce the closure (they have been known to stay open or have a 2 hour late start when others close). So I woke up thinking we had school and got ready, but at least I showered and got dressed for the day before S woke up.

The downside to the snowday is that it's sooo cold and icy that S and I can't really go anywhere. I tried to "mix it up" in the house the best I could. Set up a train set from last year's Christmas and he kind of gets it now...of course he still doesn't have the motor skill necessary for positioning the magnetic mini train cars on the grooves of the track but he does push them down the sloped bridge and laughs when they crash! He is also playing with little people and it's adorable...puts them in his toy house and in cars... I got those from a friend and have lots of hand me down toys that he can now play with. He likes to play in the pantry and take all of the cans and put them together, or the boxers of crackers. I had some leftover Nutrisystem wrapped bars in a container and he took his cereal bars and put them in there! Guess that means he is into sorting,eh?

Finally, I was able to complete his photobook. I got a groupon this summer that lasted a year, but the photobook was for his "first year" and I wanted to get it completed before too much longer. I wrote captions from the perspective of talking to him. Maybe next year he will like it- but it is a soft book so I think I won't be putting it in his library of books...he totally ripped off many of the paper hands in the one paper book "Anno's Peekaboo" that I let him read -- it was funny though because he took one of the ripped off paper hands and put it on top of a picture in the book to play peekaboo!

Oh and last night I got a message from the documentary guy but deleted it without opening. The subject was "coming to (my area) next week!" phew- got out of that in time
