Ice Fishing with Papa and Oma

Catching Up

I had no idea just how busy one's life could become so quickly. A really bad time to start new goals, I can barely do the bare minimum of what I've already committed myself for, that doesn't mean I'm giving up though!

Anyway, Thanks Oma for Candy Land and Chutes and Ladders, but especially Candy Land. Magoo has been playing it regularly. And note the pj's auntie and uncle . . .

3 is going to be a fun year,

Here are some of the things heard around the house, in addition to the "I wanted a unicycle." comment earlier this week.

Tonight in bed our conversation went like this
"I'm a little sick."
"You are? What's wrong."
"My esophagus hurts."
"It does? Does your stomach hurt?"
"No."
"Does your elbow hurt?"
"No, not any of my bones."
"Does your head hurt?" "No."
"Does your throat hurt?" "No."
"Does your stomach hurt?" "No."
"So just your esophagus."
"Yes, just my esophagus, a little, I'm just a little sick."

What is this? You broke your bike.

I wanted a unicycle.

How can you argue with logic like that?

Como Zoo and Conservatory

Just a few amateurish tries, but I'm working on it.

It was an absolutely gorgeous day, just what we needed to get us through another few below zero snaps. We got some sunshine, and out for a nice walk at Como. It was perfect. Papa even got out for some hole drilling when we got home.

Very intent "Montessori" like play, I've learned a lot from some books and good friends and am trying to encourage more of this play, but he just naturally does it. He initiated all this on his own, I just offered beans (not water) to pour.

Just for smiles

Just a funny face.

We were building roads tonight, acting out his current favorite book, the free one from Dolly Parton's Imagination Library and United Way. Easy Street. He loves it.

Company

We had a furry guest for about two weeks, Magoo loved it, and was amazingly gentle, he got a little more assertive or daring towards the end and wanted to pick up fizzy fuzz but for the most part remained mostly gentle.
