After last week's crazy weather, I was probably one of the few people who were still excited about more snow. We were promised a couple of inches along with ice and sleet. The ice and sleet arrived as expected, causing most schools to cancel for the day. We only got a dusting of snow though.
BUT we still had another snow day! I love snow days, especially when we have internet. My house was already pretty clean, so I didn't have much on the agenda for today. I had gotten Ian a ginormous coloring book at Dollar Tree (it even had stickers!), so we started our morning off with that.
Ian isn't a big fan of coloring yet, so I tried a few toddler friendly crayons to see if they helped. He kind of played with them for a minute.
Then he decided they worked better as teethers than as crayons. Sigh.
Oh well...he was pretty good about listening to Mommy and not putting them in his mouth. While we colored, we watched
My First Signs with Marlee Matlin. Ian loves the puppets on there! He is also starting to repeat words he hears - the other day, he said "hug" clear as day right along with them. He also makes the airplane noise when the Momma puppet feeds the baby puppet.
Ian also loves stickers! He put the question mark one on his shirt all by himself!
Haha! Those silly puppets!
Mom, did you see that? Those guys are hilarious!
Our first attempt at coloring in a while. Perhaps it will grow on him.
Later this afternoon, Ian dumped all his play food out on the kitchen floor and proceeded to turn in circles, knocking all the play food out of his way with his legs. Too funny!
We opened the door a few times to see if he wanted to go outside, but it was too cold. He wouldn't even go in the garage! Instead, we colored some more! Ian took the orange crayon and made one orange mark on every page. He would mark the page, turn to the next one, mark it, etc. We're making progress!
Daddy bundled Ian up in his jacket to take him to go check mail with him. Brrr!
This evening, Ian brought me his slippers. He doesn't particularly like wearing them for some reason, so I wasn't sure what he wanted. I went ahead and put them on and then Ian headed for the front door. Smart boy! He knew he needed something warmer than just his bare feet.
So he and I bundled up (and I put real shoes on him) and headed outdoors for a very short walk.
After that, all Ian wanted to do was sit in Daddy's lap and watch Veggie Tales. He was a VERY cuddly/clingy boy all day. We sure hope those teeth come in soon!
By 7:30pm, Ian was ready for bed! That was definitely early for him! I should be in bed too as he might wake up early tomorrow... I wish we could have another snow day tomorrow!

I love all of Ian's patterns that he makes. It might be too early to tell, but do you think he is left-handed?
