60 and Sunny

It's hard to believe that it looked like this just one week ago.

Little B liked it well enough when the snow was actually falling, but once it was all on the ground, he was unimpressed.

He woke up cranky from his midday nap today. He was so full of the grumps that he didn't even really want any lunch. Thank goodness bananas are nutritious! They are one of his most reliable (will-always-eat) foods. Honestly, I think we both have cabin fever from being cooped up inside so much. Little B must have inherited a good portion of my tropical blood (which would explain his daily need to remove his socks from his feet). He's bored with his toys, so he tries to keep life exciting:

... by testing boundaries ...

... and hauling around Mama's kitchen items.

A light bulb went on in my head: It's warm(ish)! We can go outside! Without coats! We headed out to the park. B loves swings. Can you tell?

Then he noticed the other kids, most of whom were older toddlers or young preschool-age children. B is always very curious about other small children. From this point, all my theatrical performing was for naught. He would NOT look at the camera anymore.

"Mama will not be ignored!" said I. I turned him around so he could watch the children more easily and stepped in front of him to get what I hoped would be better pictures. You can see what a difference that made.

"Oh, that's a very nice snow cake you're making there in the sandbox."
