We made it back home just before the 'winter storm' hit. We drove threw some flakes, but luckily no ice on the road. Church was canceled the day after we got back because the bridges had frozen. We had an extra day to recover from traveling. Russell was impressed by our tiny amount of snow. Maybe one day we will get enough for him to make a snowman.
We decided that when we got home, it was time to take drastic measures in the potty training area. Russell woke up to find that 'the garbage man' had taken all his diapers away. He left a card and some cars in their place. We had two or three days of accidents, but after he realized the diapers weren't coming back, he did much better. Getting him to poop on the toilet is still a struggle. He usually saves that for first thing in the morning or nap time when he is wearing a pull-up.
First Sunday of the year meant that this guy moved from nursery to Sunbeams with the 'big kids.' He did better than I thought. He did insist on sitting on my lap since I was sitting right behind him with my new class during sharing time. His teacher said he did great in class though!
Gardens make more great construction sights when there no plants in them. He is going to be sad when he plants things in there. Luckily, he has a few weeks to enjoy it.
Texas winters are great for being outside, if there is not an ice storm. We took full advantage with lots of outside time. Russell is doing much better with pedaling. He is getting so big!
Russell has an obsession with flashlights!
When you're tired and make yourself a comfy bed on a hard table.
We were lucky to have Aunt Kenna and cousins come visit us for a short time. We wish we had some cousins that lived closer, but we will take them whenever they had a pitstop in Dallas!
Park days with friends are the best. After being gone for a while, there were tons of 'specials' for Russell to find at the park. He has taught all his friends to joy of discovering treasures around the park.
Lots of coloring happened too. It doesn't hold his attention for too long, but he is slowly liking art more and more.
Explored the trail around Little Elm beach. It was a bit chilly, but there was lots to see.
Taking a peak at the lake... he's dreaming of swimming in it, I'm sure.
Towards the end of the walk, Russell gave up on walking and wanted to be carried.
Typical Russell....
