Sunny late afternoon on the porch

His frogies, they go eveywhere with him. 

from this afternoon

Miles right now:

• wears shoes that seem too big for the rest of his body 
• bangs recently cut by me :)
• ferocious eater
• likes to help me wash dishes standing on his new kitchen stool
• favorite foods include applesauce and yogurt 
• answers most of our questions with either "ok" or "ja"

We are one

Here is another one by the same duo. I just love it. We were listening to both of them all morning while getting ready for the day. Miles liked looking at all the kids. He kept saying "little boy," "little girl," "baby."

Sweet

This is the sweetest little song and video. I just found it on some other site. I love it and can't wait to show it to Miles tomorrow.  I think I will get him the CD  for his upcoming birthday. It keeps getting better the more I listen to it. 

Lots of Snow!

We got a ton of snow Sunday night which brought us a much needed snow day on Monday. Of course I had a deadline to meet worked for half the day, but it was nevertheless a relaxing day. Something about snow makes everything feel quiet and calm. Nice. Miles enjoyed the snow for a short time until his hands become very cold. We just don't have the right snow clothes. We haven't seen this much snow here since five years!

We introduced Miles to Play-Doh! He had a lot of fun with it, almost as much as I did.....

The fire burned all day long and everything we did was in front of the fire. That has got to be one of the best things about winter. 

Miles' new word: peacock! 

He absolutely loves to look at pictures of animals, especially this book. It's even been educational for me!
