For marshmallows! This years they are dark chocolate and cherry vanilla.
Sam makes the weirdest noises. He's grunter, happy or sad. He does this gruff, staccato laugh sometimes, usually in response to cute animals. Here we are browsing cute internet dog pictures.
Frozen hopped, skipped, and jumped across the year. From release through the winter, DVD sales in the summer, Elsas galore at Halloween, and now Christmas tie-ins. Like Ben said, "Disney has ALL the money." Probably true. Jack sang this non-stop for an hour, and started to add dance moves. I asked him to do it on tape.
The snowfall hasn't stopped. We have about four inches now and it's absolutely cold outside. Sam loves wearing boots and gloves because he could explore the snow more. Letting him walk to and from the building was impossible because he was so distracted. Jack immediately tried to throw a snowball at me. I deflected and scolded him. He pelted Sam with four before I got him to stop. Sam was having too much fun to care.
Sam has learned to blow his nose! This is the best thing for a parent with a sick kid. Unfortunately, he doesn't do it anymore when I wipe his nose. No, he takes a tissue of his own, puts it on his cheek, and walks around huffing his nose, getting snot down his chin. It looks a lot like when he pretends to talk on toy phones, but he's pretending to blow his nose instead. Hilarious AND gross. That sums up toddlers, doesn't it?
Jack has a lot of aspirations. In order to help him when he is 20 and facing his future, I'm cataloging his ideas now.
