Snowsuits to sweatshirts

This is a quick view of what our couch can look like once Kai has deemed it home base for all his treasures. Cute, highly inconvenient, and a total pain in the butt to put it all away just to find a seat. And yes, that would be a pool toy in our living room. Kai absolutely LOVES that thing and snuggles its scary, plasticy face to death. I throw it outside and Kai always finds a way to get it back into the house.




Just before Halloween, we had an incredible snow storm that left us without power for a whole week. The snow was incredibly deep, but the sun was bright and warm the following day and Kai was eager to do some serious snow consumption. Unlike last year, Kai willingly donned his snowsuit and boots and hit the snowbanks. He LOVED every minute of it. He ate his weight of the frosty stuff, made snow angels and a snowman, and giggled with delight. Our poor snowman only lasted a hot second before Kai sent his head off and rolling. We made a quick repair, but a boy only has so much self control and quickly decapitated our friend once again. Ten minutes to make him, two 1.2 seconds to destroy him. {boys.sigh.} Anyway, the snow was short-lived. The beautiful weather melted our 14" of the white stuff pretty quickly




Last week, we headed out for a local playground. Kai made a little friend, climbed everything, and had a great time. Kai was intrigued by the massive tree limb downed by the snowstorm.




Kai has been braving the gymnast rings on our swingset and gets a kick out of holding on as long as his little fingers can grip the rings.






Sometimes he sticks the landing...

...sometimes not.
