A Toddler?

-
Big news around here! I was able to be at work all week last week!!! And I might actually get it all week this week too! Two weeks in a row is crazy talk...

In other news, Josy is now the biggest kid in the baby room and they’re talking about starting to transition him to the toddler room. They were talking about doing it at the beginning of November and I think that’s now been pushed back a month, which is good. He’s doing really good at his walking and he’s made a lot of progress in the last couple of weeks, but he’s still just unstable enough that I’m not sure he’s ready to go hang out with all the big kids yet. And he’s definitely not ready to go on walks around the neighborhood all by himself. In another month and a half I think he’ll be there though. But that said, they are starting to let him play in the toddler room and go play in the toddler park. He’s actually now at the point where he runs to the toddler room if I put him down in the hallway, so I think he likes it there. But he also tries to run to the preschool room. The other day I was telling Gabe goodbye and Josy walked in and sat down at the table, waiting to do fun preschool projects. Um, sorry kid. You are not a preschooler yet...

But they are sending me fun pictures of Josy playing in the toddler areas. My baby is growing up entirely too fast...

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

Utah/California: Day 3

This morning we went to IHOP for some pancakes. Gabe picked the Scary Pancake, which he thought was delicious. Josy, who is very excited to hang out with Bella, informed the waitress that “her name is Bella and she’s our lovely sister!” The waitress thought he was the cutest thing she’d ever seen. Then we made it way to Bryce Canyon. We stopped in Red Canyon got a photo stop (and bathroom break…). Then we got to Bryce Canyon, which was amazing!! We stopped at one of the random lookouts before hitting the amphitheater. We hiked from the Bryce lookout to Inspiration Point, which ended up being about 3.5 miles, round trip. The two big kids did great. Josy struggled. His legs were tired and he was in pain. But he struggled along and ended up with a few shoulder rides. At one point Pat told him that he was “the Little Engine that Could.” He said no, he was “the Big Engine that was sore.” Gabe found a lizard that he insisted on taking a picture of. Then we headed back to town and had dinner
