This & that.
We got a dusting of snow last night. Totally not normal for where we live. Simon was totally excited: "let's go out in the snow" was said over and over. I am secretly hoping for a bit more - enough that he could really get out there and enjoy it. We are planning on taking him sledding one of these weekends - got him all geared up with a coat, pants, boots, etc.
He is really talking a lot these days. Lots to say - amazing to hear that little voice give opinions, wants, needs. A lot of it is still repetition of videos and such, but a good deal is also spontaneous. That's what we cherish.
WORK
Packing up supplies to head to The Scrapping Bee in Springfield, Illinois this weekend. There may be a few spots left in the classes. You can call the store at 217-546-0134 for more information.
CHATS

BLOGS
There are a few blogs I have really been enjoying lately that I want to pass along (since none of us have anything else to do this time of year). They inspire me for lots of different reasons: the photos, the words, etc. Enjoy.

And one that I have been reading for awhile: My Topography
Ali, that's wonderful news about Simon. I remember those days... it wasn't too long ago that we were where you guys are right now, and yes, it's such a gift, the spontaneous communication... the KNOWING what's on his mind because he can actually TELL you. He's doing wonderfully, and I'm sure he'll continue to amaze you.
Thanks for sharing your story. You've put a smile on my face. :)

The Dahli Mama blog entry totally made me cry! I can relate 100% to her entry about her son and his friends. I was a shy person growing up. I just want my little men to be social beings. To be themselves, don't be afraid. I am frightened of how I will react when one of them comes to me with hurt feelings from their friends. That's part of being mommy I guess! Thank you for the links!
