Warm Inside

Its a cold snowy day here. The predicted high today is 2 degrees. yikes. The entire school district is closed, which seems a little crazy. i mean this is Colorado, northern Colorado. This is not the first time its been below zero--not even the first time this winter!

 

Leo is closing in on eighteen months and is becoming more of a toddler everyday. His vocabularly has increased, but he still likes to demand certain things in his own language. Some of his new words include owl, Alma (his cousin), "out there", water, buckle, open, and "all done".

Yesterday I had a very funny time getting him down for a nap. I had fed him some homemade juice (i rarely ever give him juice) but thought because I had juiced the apples, kiwi and beet myself that it'd be good to get him a quick shot of vitamins. But oh no, i went a little overboard because the 10 or so teaspoons of juice i fed him (feeding him juice like its soup seemed like the way to go) made for an epic nap time. It took me 1.5 hrs to get him down. We read stories, we cuddled, he played peek-a-boo with himself in the mirror, i layed down in bed while he did this crazy routine of yelling some indecipherable words then shaking his head from side to side REALLY fast, then flinging himself backwards onto the bed--over and over and over again. It was a riot and he probably kept going because i was laughing so hard.....

Just another Leo day.

Here are some pics from the last week:
