Just a few sentences....

JB has figured out how to put his thumb inside the thumb slot of mittens and gloves. You would not think this is a big deal, but oh, the meltdowns that are prevented now.

Yesterday in the car, not sure what started it, but Jbird said something to JB and JB said 'uh uh' (or the equivalent to no) and then Jbird said 'yea' and so it continued back and forth for about 20 seconds. JB's first argument and I was so excited.

It has been hard to get out of bed lately when the outside temperature is .5! B has always been a hard one to get settled down and asleep. He will lay in bed for a long time but not be able to relax enough to sleep. Lately he has discovered the heating pad. He curls up on that thing and falls fast asleep. I have just ordered him (and one for Jbird) an electric blanket in hopes of warming up the bed and helping them to fall asleep. Maybe this will encourage them to stay in bed longer on the weekends too.

B is making great strides in his reading. So fun to listen to him reading his devotional at night. It is one of those times as a parent that you hate to tell them to turn off the light.

Cub Scout winter activity planned for this weekend. Sledding. Just hope it gets into the double digits with no wind!
