A Cold January

So we have had a very cold January this year. For some reason I don't remember it being this bad in the first three years in NY. It may have something to do with having a toddler and cabin fever...two very bad combinations.  

Here is some pictures of us playing in the snow on January 7th

 As you can see Andy had a great time!!

I was able to find these Tickets to a show called the Inflatable Theater.  The show promised to etertain even the most rambunctious toddler. So I bought the tickets and took Andy, Pat and our friend Arianne. Andy loved it even after only having about a 20 minute nap. It was a man and a woman who put on the show. They juggled, dance, did gymnastic move with and in these giant parachute balls, cubes, clothing, etc. It was Very fun! At the end they tossed a giant pumpkin and cube into the audience. Andy thought it was quiet cool to get to hit the pumpkin.

 Andrew now loves the Book Moo, Baa, LaLaLa. He always makes this face when reading the book.Can you guess why??

 Another cold day. I was trying to get Andy dressed with little success. What is the point if we aren't going anywhere? At least that must be Andy's thinking and soon became mine.

Andy uses this pout look whenever he isn't getting what he wants. We see is often!

Pat and I have picked up craft time together, although he probably wouldn't like me calling it that. He works on his car model and I do various things, depends on the day. This night I painted a Pin the Apple in the Pig's mouth game for Arianne's Luau Birthday Party. I have to admit it turned out well.

 So since the weather has not been nice to us. We do crafts, watch "Dora" and "Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang" (we also dance along with). Play with trains, cars, swords, instruments, Play-doe, paint, draw and whatever else I can do to entertain my two year old.  We are currently trying to potty train. Which is more stressful then I thought it would be for both of us although I am constantly looking for ways to make it less stressful. Andy is doing well and getting so grown up.

My little drummer boy!
