Winter came like a brick wall. Fifties one day and the next week no high out of the twenties. Our lives were rocked; but since we have adapted. We have had sick days, snow days, sad days, and cold days; the stuff life is made of I guess. There is always the good moments though, for which I am always grateful.
For family Home Evening we made a grateful tree. Tate was thankful for 4 things: friends and trains (by name), the color red, and chocolate milk. The complexity of life at age three is great. Ian found more joy is pulling the tree down than putting the leaves on. It was fun family time together. We have so much to be thankful for.
One very long day when I needed a nap this Ian friendly couch was devised. Tate wanted all of his animals to watch Daniel Tiger too and found them seats on the balcony from which they all plummeted when the show lost it's appeal.
After telling Tate nap time was in 15 minutes I continued with whatever thing I was doing, probably laundry or lunch clean up, and when I went to put him to sleep this is what I found. He had made his bed an attraction instead of a peaceful place. He must have traveled at least a mile up and down our hall relocating all this loot from the front room to his bed. He did tell me how happy teddy was though and his nap was definitely not very restful.
Ian is the happiest tired child I have ever met. He doesn't get cranky, he just wanders around, lays for a couple of minutes, goes and gives someone a snuggle, and then does it again. It is adorable. He does detest though when you go into his room to actually put him to sleep. His bed is not as comfortable or fun.
Tate and his rainbow bling. We love rainbows and "clalors" at our house. Tate insisted on wearing this bling for over an hour last night. Love these little men!
