Today's events

-On a whim we packed up the car and drove to Arnold to play in the snow. (Finn has been asking us all week to go catch snow flakes.)
-A stranger gave each of our boys $1 for being so well behaved at lunch. They both immediately started acting like wild beasts.
-Sawyer said something resembling thanks at least 5 times today after I handed him something. Nice!
-While eating lunch with our well behaved boys our less well behaved dog delicately retrieved a pouch of elk jerkey Jason had just purchased and ate the entire bag without leaving one bite or scratch mark on the bag. Impressive. Her gastrointestinal activity on the ride home was equally impressive but not in a good way.
-Now we are home, bathed, in jammies and watching Alice in Wonderland for the 97th time.









Both boys, but especially Finn, had a blast playing in the snow. It was worth the trek. The things we do for love.

Sawyer has a decent vocabulary (ball, apple, momma, dada, dog, sock, boat, bat, bowl, uh oh, ow, nonono, banana, balloon, bubble, dat) although some words are easier to understand than others. He really loves to talk and keep up his side of the conversation. And he throws with his right hand. He has moved on to big kid sippy cups and likes to try to feed himself with a spoon or fork. Still getting his walking legs but will take a couple of steps before dropping to a crawl which is so much faster!

Such a big boy!
