if you can't beat it...embrace it...

well since the snow has decided to return and remind me that it is ONLY February and still winter, I decided to embrace it...
CO and I went tobogganing today. It was cold! I had to switch to a warmer hat as the wind was blowing through the one I was wearing and into my ears. CO didn't seem to be fazed by the cold. I think he is decided to embrace every moment of winter that he can. He played outside this afternoon for about 3 hours. Digging, swinging, sledding, dumping, etc. He was HAPPY! not so much when I dragged him in for supper...but happy again now as he is snuggled with his 2 duck blankies (he came with one very LARGE one that I cut in half and usually have one hidden away but he spied it going into the dryer and stalked the dryer so he could swoop in and save it once it was dry) and watching mighty machines recycling which is one of the two movies that comes with the garbage dvd


we've only seen it like a million times. It is interesting...and educational and Canadian...which is even better!
I help foster his love of mighty machines by pulling over whenever we are driving anywhere and see something going on so he can watch it in real life. Last week we watched the hydro company cutting down trees. The man was in a bucket which was very fascinating for CO.
