Oh what do you do in the wintertime... line up cars everywhere in the house (including mama's lap while she naps), playdough spaghetti, stand on your head while you play, monster week, wait and wait for snow, go up the mountains to play in the snow, baking with mama, discovering the animal rides in the mall with dada, and of course a few train rides. It's been a mild winter but cold enough to keep us doing inside activities. Some of our favorite moments this month have been funny conversations with Jefferson. Mama was having a hard time getting her boot on and he burst out in his Daniel tiger song "just keep trying, you'll get be-tter." Dada was frustrated in the mall parking lot and said "where is the train" Jefferson answered his question right away with " the train is on the train track." Every show he watches (not too many shows) have their own special dance during the intro song and he insists you dance with him. He is getting better at letting go of his immediate toddler desires and stubbornness with the phrase "we can do it another day." He has been repeating, "it's ok, another day" when he gets upset. However he has become more and more of a picky eater and with just a look at dinner he determines whether he will eat it or not, if he doesn't want something he politely says "i don't want soup, no thankyou." Winter has made his parents (especially dada) his personal jungle gym. And our favorite moments sometimes out of nowhere he will give you a big kiss on the cheek and say "I wuv watching you." (He thinks he watches mama and dada, not the other way around.)
