Snowed In...AGAIN nuthin' to do but document the day with pictures

Easton and I are stuck at home again. We were both a little on edge this morning, I think we're just bored of being entirely cooped up just the two of us. Oh well. I sort of wish that even if we didn't have another car with 4WD, that maybe we had another car we could put Easton in for short journeys. We can't with J's truck. Again, oh well.


He looks pretty cute today though...I've got him in his trendy new jeans and a shirt his Maws sent awhile back. Too bad I can't take him out to show him off. I guess pictures will have to be enough for today, I s'pose.


His cute li'l backside...


We're trying to have fun...puzzles...



...coloring...


"Da red"


...getting in the toy box...

We emptied out quite a lot of stuff on Christmas Eve to put away for awhile. We had to make room for the new haul, you know.

...Play-Doh...
Here's a lovely slideshow of my creations and what Easton called each of them:

"Hap Birtee!"


The "Happy birthday" hat he gave himself gave me the idea to light a candle and see if he knew how to blow it out so we'd have time to practice before his birthday. He knew exactly what to do...he's a real expert:

He wanted to "bwoh" again and again. This is his excited face as one is coming in:

We've already had a couple of Easton's pals RSVP for his party which is exciting. I was afraid no one would come. And, truthfully, just because people say they'll come doesn't always mean they will. Especially when dealing with toddlers, snow, and the cold/flu season--oh yeah, and football playoffs.

Here's the little dude belting out "Hap Birtee (long pause) YOOOOOU" while I accompany him on his new keyboard:


And back to last night--we finally broke out the bath crayons Santa put in Easton's stocking. He went to town coloring 'round the tub and they clean up pretty easily too, Easton even helped wipe it all off before he got out of the tub. Here's the little Picasso:




And in closing news for today, my OB's office finally called with my recent lab results and they concur everything is fine...good thing...since it's been 5 days! And I also forced Easton to eat a whole thing of yogurt for lunch again. Poor guy. It was done with the promise of 5 M&M's (I gave him 6 since he did so well) and promising to let him blow out the candle a couple more times. He did not want to finish it but I was a big meanie today and made him. I don't usually like to "force" food into him and with the guilt I'm experiencing I know why. What a trooper to put up with me. And he didn't yak! That's always a bonus.

Alright people, time to go! Tune in next time...
