COLD

 

The weather has been COLD.  Walking out of the grocery store today Ava stopped and began screaming/crying "I can't walk any more, it's too cold!"

 

Dear child, standing and screaming isn't going to warm you up any quicker.  Get in the car and I'll get it started. 

 

She was also very confused and crying in the car "Christmas is over, why is it so cold?"  I guess we need to discuss seasons a little further.

 

 

 

 

This kid did not nap again today, but then he is a mess come six o'clock.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ava constantly amazes me with the food she is interested in eating.  Tonight she ate salmon hand over fist.  She has also been preferring red onions in her spinach/kale salad.

 

 

Carter has been asking tough questions lately.  His train of thought today was as follows "Well, if God made humans, who made God?"

 

I explained that I didn't know, and he proceeded to ask Mike the same question later.  This time he added in he thought that dinosaurs might have made God.

 

Recently I read a story with Carter and Ava in which the main character was embarassed that his Mom would hug him in front of his friends.  Carter asked me "why is he embarassed?"

 

This makes me so happy/sad.  Every day after preschool he runs out of the room to give me a huge hug.  How long will this last?  But he really had no idea why a kid would be embarassed to be hugged by their parent.  I wish I could keep him my sweet little boy forever.
