We made a mad dash to the local children's consignment store late last week in search of rain boots for muddy outdoor play. The combo of next-to-zero snowfall and winter sunshine has created the most boot-sucking, shoe-sole-caking, super-duper-cold mud... it feels like spring! However, spring this is not, and so we picked up a pair of bright yellow fireman rain boots to save the snow boots and the sneakers from doing all the heavy duty mud work. You should have seen Christopher's face when a Real! Live! Fireman! commented on his fireman rain boots at the grocery store last weekend. AMAZING. Worth every second hand penny I paid.
Colin is a drooling, finger-gnawing gigglepants except for when he's fussing because his gums hurt. I can just sense those first chompers will be coming through soon. He's 5 months old now and my favorite parts of the day are when he and Christopher have giggle fits together. They just laugh at each other... it's a cackling-giggling-heart-tickling circle of little boy laughter.
The Things They Say
Recently: "Daddy, turn off the wind." "Mama, make a train appear."
It's good to be regarded with the powers of a super hero.
