In the past two weeks, we've had all sorts of crazy weather. From highs in the 60s to our first flurries of snow, and now we all have runny noses. Not surprisingly, John Thomas loved the fluffy white flakes falling from the sky. I really hope we get enough snow this year to get a day or two off from school, so that we can spend the day sledding and drinking hot chocolate.
Our boy turned 20 months old this week! I think the months are actually going by quicker and quicker the older he gets. I've had to raise the rim on his goal. He's also become quite adept around the kitchen. He loves to get all the pots and lids out, set them around the kitchen and then stack them back in the cabinet. Maybe if I'm lucky, he'll love to put his toys away for another 16 years or so. I'm not holding my breath though.
I think John Thomas' haircut turned out much better than the last time. He hates getting a haircut so much, I don't know if I'll ever be ready to take him to a barber shop. Rather, I don't know if there's a barber shop in town that'll ever be ready for him.
Did I say he turned 20 months or 45? I was cooking dinner the other night and I turned around in the kitchen to see this. He had climbed up into the chair and started reading the headlines. He cracks me up sometimes.
The treat of the week was definitely Papa's mid-week visit. John Thomas got some uninterupted book time and I got a great sushi dinner courtesy of my dad! As far as we're concerned, he can come back anytime he wants.
We all knew this day was coming, and it's finally here. John Thomas has finally figured out how to climb atop Chester. And wouldn't you know, Chester lets him! To all the grandparents, especially those with a sense of humor, please don't get John Thomas a saddle for Christmas.
Speaking of Christmas, I hope you all have a blessed Christmas and safe and funfilled New Years. And when you wake up to shiney packages and eat lots of yummy food, please remember what we are all really celebrating. Jesus' birth is the true gift of Christmas.
As always precious John Thomas is adorable and hilarious. Got to love the pic with him and the newspaper. I would say he has seen that a time or two. :-)
