Blowout

Patrick has been enjoying blowdrying his own hair this winter.

Best Bath Ever

$2 worth of Mr. Bubble goes a loooong way in the fun department. They've never giggled so much in the tub.

Lost in a Book

How I've waited for this. Patrick finished a chapter book on his own the other day. We've been reading The Magic Treehouse series...wonderful, time-traveling stories in which the children must consult books to navigate their predicaments and adventures. Pirates Past Noon (#4) was the one that carried Patrick away.

Blades of Glory

We took Patrick and Sophie skating on New Year's Eve. Some ice skating geniuses has invented penguins that help kids learn...a huge leap forward since our Binney Pond skating days. How have twenty-plus years gone by since my last spin on the ice?
